The International Food Information Council (IFIC) has expanded its team and confirmed a new slate of trustees to further strengthen its food, nutrition, and agriculture expertise, and to guide and execute its new strategic vision. IFIC is led by a public-private board of trustees comprising academic and food industry leaders with expertise in nutrition, food safety, risk communications, and biotechnology, along with government liaisons. The majority of IFIC’s board is composed of independent academic researchers.
As a food-focused research and educational nonprofit under new executive leadership, IFIC is set to release new consumer behavioral research and insights; enhance its science communication capabilities, including its digital and social media platforms; and broaden its multi-sector stakeholder engagement partnership platform this year. IFIC remains proactively invested in the mission-driven priorities most necessary and valuable to support multiple stakeholder needs, including those of consumers, in making informed food decisions.
