Food is at the centre of many of society's global challenges: ensuring a safe, sustainable and secure food supply for growing populations; addressing the increasing incidence of chronic diseases; and meeting the issues arising from an ageing population.
There is also an increased demand for high-quality food, the need to minimise food waste and to ensure that the Australian food industry remains competitive in the global marketplace.
The Centre for Advanced Food Enginomics (CAFE) aims to meet these challenges by providing innovative solutions in food products, processes and supply chains to promote human wellbeing globally.
CAFE comprises of a cross-disciplinary cluster of high profile and industry-focused researchers specialised in engineering, agriculture, business, chemistry, molecular biology and medicine.
