Food for Good - Making a Difference in Developing Countries

What is the potential of food science and technology to increase food and nutrition security, improve food safety, reduce food loss and waste, and create sustainable, more nutritious local food? Getting to Zero Hunger isn't about growing more food; we produce enough food to feed every person on the planet.  Part of what's lacking is the application of food science principles in developing countries, which can enable local production of safe, affordable, nutritious food that is efficiently utilized.
