Adhering Bodies

The member body of each national representative of IUFoST represents the food scientists and technologists of that country. These Adhering Bodies or constituent bodies thereof send delegates to the General Assembly to make IUFoST policy. Members of these national organizations also serve on IUFoST Committees and collaborate on numerous food science related projects. Regional symposia, workshops and short courses are supported by IUFoST.
