Food Day 2019
University of Copenhagen invite you to participate at our Food Day 2019 on August 28th 2019.
The presentations at the Food Day will inspire and draw perspectives on Sustainable Food Production trends and related research. Presentations will be given by international and national key persons form industry and research. The purpose is to give a good overview on state of the art of research and industry development today and how it can be utilized and further developed together with industry.
The latest advances in research will be presented in three tracks all related to the World-class Food Innovation towards 2030 - strategy develop by the Danish food industry and suppliers. The three tracks are:
- Food production through circular economy
- Food design – from molecular interaction to excellent eating
- Foods and diets contributing to health and well-being
At University of Copenhagen research and education covers the complete sustainable food production system from field to consumers to waste including health of both humans, animals, crops and nature. We work closely together with industry in the development of new technologies and services.
