Hi all, We have an upcoming webinar on 10th July with the University of Reading. This will be an interesting opportunity to see how #GCxGC can help with food, flavour and fragrance testing workflows. Click on the link below to register and we hope to see you all there. #Food #TD

#SmartNationBuilding Had the privilege of meeting Prof. Dr. Subhasis Maity, Academic and Research Director at NSHM Knowledge Campus! Me and Prof Dr Adrija Saha explored with him a wide range of research possibilities in food and agriculture, including food safety and quality, sustainable agriculture, nutraceuticals and functional foods, food processing and preservation, agricultural biotechnology, and food policy and nutrition, with a focus on innovative technologies, eco-friendly practices, and health benefits, ultimately aiming to contribute to the advancement of food safety, agriculture, health sciences, and societal development, towards building a healthier, sustainable, and equitable future for all under his able guidance! #FoodAndAgricultureResearch #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSafety #Nutraceuticals #AgriculturalBiotechnology #FoodPolicy #SocietalDevelopment #NSHMKnowledgeCampus #SustainableFuture

🌍 Tackling Food Insecurity with Microbes 🦠 The latest editorial from #Nature Microbiology, which highlights an innovative approach to address one of the world’s most pressing issues: food insecurity. With over 730 million people globally experiencing hunger, integrating microbial solutions into agricultural practices presents a sustainable and impactful way forward. From boosting crop yields to improving soil health, microbes hold tremendous potential to transform modern agriculture. This editorial underscores: ✅ The role of beneficial microbes in promoting plant growth and resilience. ✅ Strategies like crop rotation and microbial inoculants to combat pathogens. ✅ The importance of interdisciplinary research for scaling these solutions. While the path to global food security is complex, leveraging microbial technologies is a promising step toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Let’s work together to translate these cutting-edge insights into real-world applications, ensuring a more sustainable and equitable future. 📖 Published: Nature Microbiology | January 10, 2025 What are your thoughts on microbes as a game-changer for sustainable agriculture? #FoodSecurity #SustainableAgriculture #Microbiology #ResearchInnovation #GlobalHunger

"Proud to present my poster on Microencapsulation of Sohiong Pomace Polyphenols using Maltodextrin and Guar Gum by Freeze-Drying at the International Conference on Recent Trends in Smart and Sustainable Agriculture for Food and Nutritional Security (SSAFNS) at Lovely Professional University. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to discussions on innovative food technologies. Special thanks to my guide Piyush Kashyap for his constant support!

Dear fellow researchers, I cordially invite you to contribute to a Special Issue titled "Fruit Quality and Biochemical Characteristics during Post Harvest Storage and Processing" in MDPI Horticulturae. Check this out and let me know what you think!

🚀 Just wrapped up an inspiring couple of days at Khulna University's International Conference on "Climate Smart Agriculture and the 4AR." 🌱 Presenting my poster on the "Impact of Different Levels of Chia Seed Flour on Nutritional and Sensory Characteristics of Wheat-Based Biscuits" was a highlight. Investigating how agricultural innovation can revolutionize food production was exhilarating. Here are a few takeaways: Integrating chia seed flour can significantly enhance the nutritional profile of wheat-based biscuits. Sensory characteristics like taste and texture are crucial in consumer acceptance. Importance of climate-smart practices in sustainable food production. Excited to implement these insights and continue exploring the intersection of agriculture and food science. #Agriculture #FoodScience #Innovation #SustainableFarming #ClimateSmart

Please consider submitting an abstract on the topic of Nutrition, Food Security and Agriculture to the Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference (ICR25) to be held in Washington, D.C. April 21-23, 2025. Specifically, we are interested in research that explores sustainable agricultural practices that enhance food security and nutrition while reducing environmental impacts. This session is currently listed under Topic 3c of the Sustainability research theme. Abstracts of research involving any technical method(s), including the use of computational models, AI, remote sensing and field-based experiments over domains from the local (crop) to global scale are welcome. ICR25 will be attended by environmental professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and leaders from the White House, Department of Energy, National Labs, Department of Defense, industry, and academia. This community comes together to discuss transformative ideas and explore real solutions to address climate change threats to our environment, health, communities, national security and economic well-being. The deadline for abstract submissions is November 18, 2024. For consideration in the Nutrition, Food Security and Agriculture session, please be sure to select my name (Kurt Solander) on the submittal form in the “Submission Requested By” drop-down box. More information on the ICR25 conference can be found in the conference website.
