A lack of skills and interest amongst young people in food technology is a cause of concern for the industry. A major drive is underway on both sides of the Atlantic to attract new talent to food and drink manufacturing, to help secure the sector’s future.
FDF has said it will work with Improve, the Department for Innovation Universities and Skills, the Institute for Food Science and Technology, Defra and others to improve food science and technology courses and to raise its profile of food technology as a career.
