DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. said science-based food technologies are increasingly important as the country’s nutritional needs change
“Nutrition has always been the cornerstone of health and human development.

As the country’s nutritional challenges continue to evolve, the need for innovative science-based food technologies becomes even more urgent,” Solidum said
