07 Feb 2020 --- The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) has published a white paper about the state of funding for food research, concluding that food research in the US is chronically underfunded. As a result, there is potential to perpetuate risk in public health, food safety, and food security while eroding the US talent pipeline and global competitiveness. With these risks in mind, IFT proposes prioritizing federal and private research funding efforts for food with a focus on food science.
