DOST-FNRI to hold 50th Seminar Series on food and nutrition researches and S&T activities

The Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI), as the country’s lead agency in food and nutrition research and development, stays true to its mission to provide accurate data, correct information, and innovative technologies to fight malnutrition in the Philippines.

One of the Institute’s venues in the diffusion of food and nutrition information and technology is the DOST-FNRI Seminar Series (FSS). 

Formerly known as the Series of Seminars in Food and Nutrition, the FSS is the annual dissemination of completed research and development (R&D) outputs and science and technology (S&T) activities among stakeholders in the food and nutrition community, as well as in allied fields and the general public.

Since its first reported research projects to the public in July 1975, the Seminar Series has been the venue for encouraging individuals to adopt practices that would improve their health and well-being and guiding policymakers in creating more programs that will address the country’s problems on malnutrition and food security.

It is a platform for intellectual dialogues and meaningful collaborations among stakeholders in the field of nutrition and food technology. 

As DOST-FNRI celebrates five decades of its seminar series, with the theme, “Golden Year of DOST-FNRI Seminar Series”, the Institute will look back into how the FSS evolved through the years.
