The inaugural Future of Food Forum hosted by UWS Innovation & Consulting was held on Tuesday, 30th of November 2010 at Yarramundi House, Hawkesbury Campus. Academics from UWS had the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with high profile members of the food industry, industry bodies and government in an event that was the first of its kind for the university. After an official welcome from Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof John Ingleson and an address from Head of School, Prof John Bartlett, attendees were involved in workshops and open debate about how the university and industry can more effectively collaborate.

The establishment and building of relationships with the food industry is integral to the development of new and innovative education programs and also in providing direction for applied research.

The outcomes of the forum will be made available to attendees and we encourage other interested industry and government members to contact us for further developments.
