6. Educational Pathways in Food Technology
Many universities and colleges offer food
technology degree programs.
Programs cover food science, food processing,
quality control, and food safety regulations.
Students can pursue master's degrees or PhDs in
specialized areas of food technology.
Internships and co-op placements provide practical,
real-world experience

7. Emerging Trends In Food Technology
Food technology is changing fast because of new ideas
and what customers want. More people are choosing
plant-based and other types of proteins because they
care about the environment and ethics.
Developments in food science are leading to foods that
are tailored to individual needs, packed with nutrients
and have added health benefits.
Another big trend is the use of digital technologies in the
food industry. This includes online shopping, and using
artificial intelligence to predict trends and improve
supply chains
Consumers want more transparency and traceability in
their food, leading to the use of blockchain technology to
improve food safety and track where food comes from.
