7th Edition of Euro Global Conference on Food Science and Technology | FAT 2025
Dear Conference Participants, It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you with some welcome remarks for the 7th edition of the Euro-Global Conference on Food Science and Technology (FAT-2025) that will be held from 08 to 10 September 2025 in Valencia, Spain.
The watchword of this edition is “Explore” the new frontiers in the field of science and technology applied to food; a huge invitation to go “beyond”, to focus on man in a new vision of his essence, of the satisfaction of his primary needs in a modern vision and of his being a citizen of the world.
If progress in productivity and technology has significantly improved the use of natural resources and food security, the path towards the protection of its "nutrition" as such is still long, having to deal, ever more rapidly, with threats due to climate change, the escalation of natural disasters that in fact continuously modify the territories, the proliferation of parasites considering the other side of food that, now become too refined by cultivation methods and commercial choices for its production, orient the vision of man no longer as a being but as a stomach to be filled.
This opens up new opportunities, including technological ones, to adapt and re-adapt, for example, the instruments at the service of food and its consumption by those who, due to compromised clinical conditions, need alternative instruments; to obtain greater productivity and to introduce intelligent and differentiated methods to adapt, in the most functional way possible, food and its primary intentional concept of "nutrition", understood as nourishment and not only of the body but also of the spirit, to man.
It is not about "adding a seat at the table" but about directing the gaze towards a physiological transformation that is also a real change in attitudes through the construction of paths aimed at promoting the food process, as the most suitable place for growth for all the actors involved in building a culture of inclusion, in which every diversity is recognized as a fundamental resource for enriching the global community.
This conference calls for a common commitment to break down barriers, eliminate prejudices and design paths that enhance the potential of each individual with passion, competence and, above all, a deep trust in human capabilities.
Thank you to all of you and the contributions that each of you will bring to this conference because only together can we transform this vision into reality.
