Under the normalization of the epidemic in 2021, China's food technology and industry will usher in new changes, new challenges and new opportunities

Focus on cutting-edge technology

Focus on cutting-edge topics in food technology innovation

The world today is facing a series of major challenges such as global climate change, food security, shortage of energy resources, and ecological and environmental pollution.

The scene of the 17th annual meeting of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology

In the fiercely competitive international scientific and technological innovation environment, facing the frontiers of food science and technology, food nutrition and health, strengthening basic, original and leading scientific research is the obligatory responsibility of the majority of food science and technology workers

At the "High-end Forum on Food Nutrition and Human Health and Correlation Analysis between Cold Chain Food and New Coronavirus" hosted by the Tianjin Food Society, discussions will be held around popular food health issues in the post-epidemic era

With the rapid development of biotechnology in recent years, synthetic biology is one of the main approaches to solve the major challenges facing the food of the future

Focus on nutrition and health

Precision nutrition helps the healthy transformation of the food industry

"Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" pointed out that in order to actively respond to the current prominent health problems, we must move forward, take effective intervention measures, and strive to prevent the masses from getting sick and less sick, improve the quality of life, and prolong the healthy life expectancy

With the improvement of people's diversified health needs, functional foods with different health attributes have become a new trend in the innovation and development of the food industry

In addition, the "International Forum on Food Nutrition and Safety" hosted by Tianjin University of Science and Technology will also gather many experts in the field of food nutrition and safety at home and abroad to discuss important issues such as food safety, food nutrition, functional food and food quality control.

Focus on food safety

Discuss new problems in the whole industry management system

During this meeting, the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology and the Walmart Food Safety Collaboration Center will continue to co-host the 3rd International Food Safety Education Forum, focusing on demand- and risk-based food safety education, and targeting food industry practitioners in the early stage of the Society.

Through the management and control of food production and processing, ensuring the nutritional quality and quality of food is an effective means to ensure food safety and promote human health

Focusing on the fast-paced, nutritious, and diversified new changes in national healthy diet consumption demand and the new needs of emerging industries, it is the general trend to carry out cutting-edge basic research on food flavor and quality modification, processing adaptability, and quality control

　　As an important means to ensure food safety, food testing is an important part of the production and operation of food enterprises

Focus on application technology

Condensing scientific issues in industrial development

　　The fast-paced modern life has put forward higher requirements for the traditional Chinese food industry, and the establishment of a standardized, automated and continuous industrial production model is the future development trend

　　Under the guidance of the "double carbon" goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, China's food industry has ushered in a critical adjustment period for low-carbon transformation

　　Strengthening scientific and technological innovation in the food industry is inseparable from the support of basic research

　　With the continuous enhancement of China's food science and technology research and development strength, the basic research level has been significantly improved, and major breakthroughs have been made in research on ultra-high pressure sterilization, aseptic filling, and degradable food packaging materials, and the ability of food science and technology to support the development of the industry has been significantly enhanced
.
In view of the problems of China's food cold chain logistics industry with many links, single technology, low degree of standardization, serious quality deterioration, logistics loss, high energy consumption and high cost, the annual meeting set up a technical topic of "food packaging, storage and preservation", focusing on green low-cost Carbon, safe and efficient, standardized, intelligent and traceable food logistics industry development needs to conduct discussions, break through the technical bottleneck of China's food cold chain logistics, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the food logistics industry
.

Focus on northern characteristics

Green manufacturing promotes sustainable development of the food industry

　　This annual meeting is co-organized by the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.
The north is a land rich in agricultural products, and the processing of characteristic agricultural products is a supporting force for agricultural modernization and an important industry for the national economy
.
At present, the processing technology and equipment of agricultural products in China generally lag behind developed countries, and the application of various high-tech processing technologies has not been popularized.
It is urgent to promote the development of agricultural product processing industry
.
The "Northern Characteristic Agricultural Products Processing Technology and Function Forum", which is mainly hosted by Hebei Agricultural University and Hebei Provincial Food Association, will focus on the northern characteristic food, and will carry out special topics in the fields of research and development, processing, and nutritional functions of regional characteristic agricultural products.
The report provides new opportunities for the development of agricultural product processing technology
.

　　In the post-epidemic era, it is of great significance to promote the sustainable development of the food industry and solve problems such as the stable supply of bulk raw materials in the critical period of low-carbon transformation across the country
.
The topic of "Sustainable Food Consumption and Green Supply Chain in the Food Industry" will focus on the sustainable application of important bulk raw materials in the food industry by optimizing the allocation of industrial resources, improving the transparency of food safety, and achieving sustainable development that is compatible with the environment.
, invite industry authoritative experts and application enterprise technical personnel to communicate and discuss
.

Focus on talent training

The ideal stage for young people in food

　　Youth work is the key work of the Society.
Paying attention to the growth and success of young people is crucial to the ability building of the Society and the cultivation of future professional talent teams
.
This annual meeting will continue to provide young people with a platform for academic exchanges and ideological collision, and invite young talents represented by members of the Youth Committee of the Society to hold a youth salon to discuss how to better connect scientific research and technological innovation with national major needs, especially the needs of major strategies such as the construction of a healthy China, the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, and the revitalization of rural areas
.
Encourage young people in food science to establish a good overall, overall and international outlook, lead young scientific and technological workers to explore the frontiers of the discipline as the goal, realize cross-cooperation in multiple fields of food disciplines, and consolidate the road to technological power in the field of food science and technology
.

　　The majority of food students entering the food field in the future need to understand the situation of food safety management in China
.
However, most students do not know much about how to manage food safety in China, how to use food additives in compliance with regulations, and how to operate product development
.
To this end, this annual meeting specially set up a lecture on "Future R&D and Regulatory Manager Training Plan", which aims to introduce to all students, especially those who participate in the competition of learning innovative products, what the R&D and regulatory positions that they will embark on in the future will be.
At work, what are the things that need to be paid attention to in order to plan ahead
