Food Forum
The Food Forum convenes scientists, administrators, and policymakers from academia, government, industry, non-profits, professional societies, and consumer groups on an ongoing basis to explore issues related to food (including safety, regulation, systems, nutrition, and health) and identify approaches to address them. It provides a unique way to identify areas of concordance. It does not make recommendations, nor does it offer specific advice. It compiles information, develops options, and brings interested parties together.
