The theme for the 21st SAAFoST International Congress and Exhibition "Growing Food Science and Technology for a Sustainable Future" was chosen because of the concerns both internationally and in Africa of how to feed the rapidly growing populations. This presents a huge challenge to the Food Scientist and what a better time to start finding solutions to these concerns than at this Congress.
