The European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) facilitates the knowledge and technology exchange among food professionals. EFFoST creates opportunities for food scientist, engineers, technologists, policymakers and businesses in food and food-related areas to connect and collaborate with the objective to enhance the uptake of new technologies and developments. By supporting the further development of food science and technology, EFFoST aims to advance the production of sustainable and healthy food for all in a changing world.

To achieve this, EFFoST builds and sustains a European network for knowledge transfer, leveraging its community of food science and technology professionals. This is accomplished through The EFFoST Annual Conference, EFFoST Scientific Society, and our Working Groups. Furthermore, EFFoST participates in food-related EU-funded projects, taking responsibility for disseminating knowledge, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring the effective exploitation of results. These projects span a wide range of topics, from developing advanced technologies to creating societal impact by supporting innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises.
