IFT and AIFST offer joint membership

Recognising that food supply is a global issue, the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST) are now offering a joint membership. The joint membership will give food scientists access to expanded member benefits from both organisations and provide enhanced resources.

“Our joint membership offering acknowledges that food supply is a global issue, and we are charged with feeding a population that will soon reach nine billion people,” said Michele Perchonok, IFT President. “By combining IFT offerings with those from AIFST, science and food professionals will have the opportunity to leverage a wider array of international resources, including networking, in order to advance science and support global needs.”

For a single membership fee, food sector professionals residing in Australia will become a member of both organisations and have access to expanded member benefits from both organisations.
