Call for Papers

Food is a central element of our society. In our lifetime, we will eat more than 50,000 times, and our daily eating experiences affect our quality of life. There are many industries that support food, but many social issues remain unresolved, such as dealing with lifestyle diseases and ensuring sustainability. Since these social issues are often a trade-off with individual satisfaction, technology-oriented solutions are essential.
