The situation surrounding the agriculture and food industry is changing drastically. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of the food supply chain and reaffirmed the importance of food security. Achieving sustainable food production and supply is a global challenge, as we are facing the destabilization of agricultural and livestock production due to climate change, and the global food market is expected to grow along with the huge increase in the human population.
Global food value enhancement and market expansion focusing on nutrition and health is an initiative that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs by improving nutrition and achieving healthy longevity for people around the world and is also a business opportunity in the food-related industries.
The symposium will consist of a keynote session and three discipline-specific sessions. In each session, with the cooperation of globally leading companies, we will also plan a “pitch” to introduce unique initiatives and match research and market needs. The aims of each session are as follows:
