The Feeding Tomorrow Educator Expo program aims to raise awareness and understanding of the types of careers available for K–12 students in food science and technology. The world needs the brightest minds engaged in the science of food in order to meet the challenges ahead of us to feed a projected population of 9 billion in 2050.
Feeding Tomorrow unites with the Chicagoland Food Science Foundation and FONA International in Chicago to provide an educational experience specifically for educators, teachers, and counselors. The Educator Expo Program will be a virtual event this year, and it includes opportunities to connect with food industry professionals, gain access to teaching resources and experiments, connect with other educators and see what career opportunities exist.
