Food and Science
While watching a video about a food scientist at NASA, i noticed a few videos about food and science. These are videos about lectures at Harvard University and i found them interesting. I only saw two hours of these videos, but i'll check the rest out another time.

In a world without food science, much of the food produced would be lost to spoilage and waste. Food scientists work to conserve resources during the entire chain of production. They make sure land and water are conserved and protected as a crop is grown and as a food product is made. They create packaging that is reduced, recycled and reusable to minimize waste. They place food production plants in areas where food can be transported and distributed efficiently.

World Without Food Science
World Without Food Science™ is a public education campaign created by the Institute of Food Technologists to generate awareness of the role that food science plays in ensuring a nutritious, safe and abundant food supply.
This awareness initiative is designed to help the public understand where their food comes from so they can make informed decisions about the food they eat every day. As part of this effort, IFT provides practical consumer tips at www.iftfoodfacts.org.
History of Food Science
Nurtured by the Institute of Food Technologists, food science and technology has evolved over many decades into a multidisciplinary field that has been instrumental in the development of a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply. Learn how our food science profession has advanced the science of food and benefitted humankind through three historic publications:
A Century of Food Science
