The 8th International Conference on Food and Applied Bioscience 2026:

The Food Singularity: Converging Sustainable AgriTech to Frontier Food Era

Date: 5 - 6 February 2026

It is with immense pleasure and anticipation that we present the preface for The 8th International Conference on Food and Applied Bioscience (FAB 2026). As we convene in the vibrant city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, from February 5th to 6th, 2026, at The Empress Hotel, we reflect on the remarkable journey that has brought us to this pivotal moment. FAB has, over the past seven iterations, firmly established itself as a leading global platform for the exchange of groundbreaking research and innovative ideas in the vast and vital fields of food science and applied bioscience. Each of our previous conferences has been met with overwhelming success, fostering invaluable collaborations and driving forward critical advancements, and we are confident that the 8th installment will continue this proud tradition.

This year, we delve into the transformative theme: "The Food Singularity: Converging Sustainable AgriTech to Frontier Food Era." In an era marked by unprecedented challenges and opportunities, the future of our food systems hinges on the convergence of sustainable agricultural technologies and pioneering food innovations. FAB 2026 aims to unite a diverse array of stakeholders—including academics, researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and students—who are dedicated to shaping a resilient, equitable, and sustainable food future for all. Our primary objective is to facilitate robust discussions, share cutting-edge findings, and forge new partnerships that will accelerate the development and adoption of technologies and practices essential for this frontier food era.

The scientific program of FAB 2026 has been meticulously curated to cover the most critical and emerging areas within food and applied bioscience. We are proud to feature comprehensive Scientific Sessions encompassing:

(A) Food, Nutrition and Health Bioscience:

(B) Sustainable Bioresource Processing and Engineering:

(D) Food Microbiology and Sustainable Food Safety Practice:

(E) Microbial Biosystems and Biomanufacturing:

(F) Biosensory and Consumer Insights:

(G) Sustainable Food Biosystems, Packaging and Regulatory Frameworks:

We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to FAB 2026, where we will collectively explore the "Food Singularity" and contribute to building a sustainable and innovative future for food.
