Personalised foods
The integration of genomics, nutrition and health is emerging as an exciting new area for science that addresses the link between disease, diet and genetic make-up which is part of the 5.4.2 Area: Epidemiology of Food-Related Diseases and Allergies. Research in this area is likely to lead to a wide range of future products and services from the food industry that will create new markets and also improve public health and lifestyle. This is a new area of science that requires debate to clarify the consumer issues, ethical framework and the relationships between research and SMEs that allow innovation to thrive.
