If the general media’s coverage of food science and technology topics makes you mad, if you long for a more balanced debate about controversial topics, such as genetically modified food, this webinar is for you.
FoodManufacture.co.uk has teamed up with the Institute of Food Science & Technology to help move the debate about challenging food science and technology topics onto a more secure scientific footing – within a framework of consumer acceptability.
To help achieve this, we have enlisted the expertise of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), food safety watchdog Which? and Leatherhead Food Research.
Dealing with a host of topical food science and technology topics – such as GM food, nanotechnology and irradiation – the webinar aims to identify problems and opportunities in the perception and reporting of such subjects.
Speakers:
• FSA chief scientist Andrew Wadge
• Which? chief policy adviser Sue Davies
• Leatherhead Food Research principal consumer analyst Nicole Patterson.
Each speaker will give a short online presentation followed by a live question and answer session.
This free webinar aims to move the debate about food science and technology onto a more secure scientific footing.
It seeks to identify problems and opportunities in the perception and reporting of controversial topics − such as GM, nanotechnology and irradiation – and suggest ways in which science can hold more sway – within a context of consumer acceptability. Aimed at anyone who welcomes a debate based on the science rather than mere prejudice, the webinar will be particularly useful to food sector communicators, food science and technology policy makers, and government science policy makers.
