Their professional vision, collective sense of responsibility, and the initial steps they took for the advancement of food science, technology, and the food sector have become the vital foundations that allow FoSTA to stand strong today.

As the current generations of FoSTA, we will continue to cherish and preserve the legacy created by the founding members and further strengthen our work in the areas of Food Safety, Food Science, Food Technology, Future Food, Functional Food & Ingredient, Research, Education, and Industry Collaboration.

We respectfully record and honor the ten founding members of 2013 who created the very beginning of FoSTA’s history.
