In this video interview, Poole told FoodManufacture.co.uk the two-day London conference aimed to showcase the contribution of science and technology across all areas of the food industry: engineering, safety, law and other areas.
“The conference is intended for anyone who has an interest in food science and technology and works in the food industry – or would like to work in the food industry,” said Poole. “We expect to attract food industry specialists, academics and students – because they are the future of the industry.”
‘The future of the food industry’
