Track-1: Nutrition

Nutrition in basic terms refers to the process of obtaining the food in a form it can be used which is necessary for health and growth of the cells. Food is required by an organism in order to function properly. If an organism does not get sufficient nutrients for the body, a situation of malnutrition may occur. It can be treated by the intake of proper nutrients and diet.

Food composition information (FCD) are elaborated sets of data on the nutritionally vital elements of foods and supply values for energy and nutrients together with protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals and for alternative vital food elements like fiber. To this day, food composition studies remain central to nutrition analysis into the role of food elements and their interactions in health and illness. However, due to increasing levels of sophistication and quality in nutrition science, there's a larger demand for complete, current and reliable FCD, alongside info on a wider range of food components, including bioactive compounds. The earliest food composition tables were primarily based exclusively on chemical analyses of food samples, that were principally undertaken specifically for the tables. However, as the food supply has evolved, and with the increasing demand for nutritional and related components, it has become more difficult for compilers to rely only on chemical analysis when compiling FCDBs.

Marketing Analysis

European food market is much diversified. Lately, more emphasis is being given to functional foods and RTS foods. There is tremendous scope in every section of food from food processing to distribution or from food chemistry to food packaging. The European food market for food had tripled since 1950.

European food market for food nutrition and technology has been in the forefront of European and international collaboration through various initiatives taken place in this field. This initiative, which has since been used as a model by some other disciplines, involves a cohort of graduate students from several countries studying modules in some five different European countries, and then doing a research project in a further country, while also developing different language skills. This provides great international networking opportunities, and has proved popular with the students.

Berlin itself serves as one of the main spots for Europe that is contributing in the field of Food Nutrition Technology. Food Science Universities/ Nutrition Institutes in Berlin in numbers are more than any other country in Europe.

Nutrition and Food Science 2020  plans to gather every one of the general population over the globe and base a stage for them to share their knowledge, research work and experience particularly to promote nutrition awareness leading to wealth and health.

Rome is one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in European union. It was first called “The Eternal City” by the Roman poet called Tibullus in the 1st century BC. The Rome of the Kings was built on 7 hills named the Aventine Hill, the Caelian Hill, the Capitoline Hill, the Esquiline Hill, the Palatine Hill, the Quirinal Hill and the Viminal Hill. Modern Rome is also crossed by another river named the Aniene, which flows into the river Tiber north of the historic center.

Rome hosts all the principal institutions of the nation which includes the Presidency of the Republic, the government, the Parliament, the main judicial Courts, and the diplomatic representatives of all the countries for the states of Vatican City and Italy. Rome is also having many international institutions and notably cultural & scientific ones, such as the American Institute, the British School, the French Academy, the Scandinavian Institutes, and the German Archaeological Institute. There are also some specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Rome also hosts major international and worldwide political and cultural organizations like the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), World Food Programme (WFP), the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the NATO Defense College.

As of 2019, Rome is categorized as an Alpha- global city by the Globalization & World Cities Research Network and was the 11^th most visited city in the world, third most visited city in the European Union, and the most popular tourist destination in Italy.
