The 30th EFFoST International Conference will be held in Vienna, Austria from 28-30 November 2016. The theme is ‘Targeted Technologies for Sustainable Food Systems.’ The conference will be organized by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) on behalf of EFFoST.

The 30th EFFoST International Conference will explore solutions to current and future challenges such as food and water security, sustainable agriculture, food safety, convenience and health derived from the targeted application of appropriate food- and bio-processing technologies also taking into account economic and ethical aspects. The river Danube and the whole Danube region as a guiding theme for the conference will reflect some of above mentioned challenges and science based technological solutions in particular.
