We are pleased to announce the creation of the Food Science Research Network (FoodSciRN), which focuses on 13 major areas of scholarship. SSRN's newest network provides a worldwide online community for food science scholars and for the sharing of ideas across a broad spectrum of early stage research.


The following FoodSciRN areas are available and subscriptions will be free during the start-up phase.
