Abstract

2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOOD SCIENCE ANDENGINEERING (ICFSE) 2018Following the success of the first International Conference on Food Science and Engineering (ICFSE) that has been held on 2016, the second International Conference on Food Science and Engineering (ICFSE) 2018 brings the theme of “Current perspectives and future challenges in food science and engineering for sustainable development”. The transformational vision of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls on all countries and stakeholders to work together to end hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition by 2030. This goal can only be fulfilled if agriculture and food systems become sustainable, so that food supplies are stable and all people have access to adequate nutrition and health. Food nutrition, safety, and security are important factors that required a serious attention. 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 appears. Hence, the 2nd ICFSE 2018 is designed to facilitate the needs of academicians, researchers, policy makers, governmental, and private agencies in disclosing and sharing their knowledge and experiences in current topics and future issues related to food science and engineering, as well as to strengthen the international networking between Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) and other universities or institutions worldwide.The 2nd ICFSE 2018 was attended by leading scientists and researchers working in the field of food science and engineering.
