THE 4^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOOD SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (ICFSE) 2022

The previous ICFSE editions have been successfully held biannually from 2016 to 2020 resulting in hundreds of papers published in the partner proceeding and journal indexed by Scopus. Following the success of the previous ICFSE edition and the great enthusiasm of the audience, the next ICFSE edition is urged to be held this year. The 4^th ICFSE will involve prominent speakers from reputable universities that have been collaborating with UNS for years. Some of them are from Ghent University (Belgium), Hiroshima University (Japan) and Estonian University of Life Sciences (Estonia). The 4^th ICFSE is planned to be held on 11-12 October 2022 by online platform. This conference will bring a theme of “Strengthening Sustainable Food Ecosystem through Innovation in Food Science and Engineering“.

It must be realized that the sustainable supply of energy, clean freshwater, and foods for human kinds are among the most significant challenges for the future. Food science and process engineering are involved in all those challenges directly or indirectly. Food nutrition, safety and security are also important factors that require a serious attention. The decreasing amount of arable farmland and the rapid growth of human population forced the experts to find new concepts to feed the world through innovative research in the field of food science and engineering. The effort must be supported by the understanding and cooperation between scholars and practitioners all over the world in facing and solving the problems that might appear.
