IFT: A Matter of Food and Science

RTI Innovation Advisors will participate in the Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Event and Food Expo, one of the largest events of its kind bringing together science of food professionals worldwide. The event attracts attendees from all segments of the food science profession—research and design, ingredients, safety and quality, technology, equipment, processing, packaging, manufacturing, suppliers and buyers, policy makers, and academics—and offers them the opportunity to transform collective knowledge into innovative solutions to help advance our planet’s food safety, nutrition, and sustainability.
