With a growing world population there is an increasing need for accessible, affordable, quality, safe, and nutritious foods.
Since the rate of food production is not equal to the rate of food consumption, the place of food production not the place of the food consumption, and the form the food is produced not the form the food is consumed, there is inevitable need for processing, preservation, storage, and transport of food products.
All these operations require knowledge, research, innovation, infrastructure, expertise, time, and careful coordination of all these factors to result in sustainable growth of the food industry.
