Because of consumer interest in robust health and strong immune systems, the role of seafood in diets has never been more important. Georgia seafood companies and research chefs can proactively fill that niche by tapping into existing resources and developing new networks of suppliers, providers and customers. During this half-day conference, you will learn about current seafood research and extension in Georgia, expand your food technology horizons and tour University of Georgia’s Food Product & Innovation Center. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration with like-minded professionals to stimulate ideas for creating safer, value-added, and/or more nutritious Georgia seafood products for the future.
