As with any other industry, the food industry has been changing over time. These changes are driven by many factors including changes in consumer behaviour, advice to consumers from health practitioners, government regulations, global economy, transportation, climate change, technology including internet-of-things (IoT), research done by academic institutions and industry itself, and most recently pandemic.
On Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023, 7 p.m. at the Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge, Dr. Digvir Jayas will kick off the PUBlic Professor Series by presenting Recent Trends in the Food Industry. There, he will provide an overview of recent trends in the food industry and factors driving these changes. Using food quality monitoring as an example, this presentation will highlight what role research has played and is continuing to play towards this area.
WHAT: Media availability for President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Digvir Jayas
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 26, 10:30 a.m.
WHERE: University of Lethbridge North Patio (outside University Hall Atrium)
As many media members are unable to attend the evening PUBlic Professor Series talks, this is an opportunity to speak to the researcher about this important societal issue.
