The Functional Food Center’s 24th International Conference will be held at the Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. It will be timely in presenting new and relevant information focused on the importance of bioactive compounds and functional foods.

Conference Center at Harvard Since 1998, the Functional Food Center has been a pioneer in the functional food industry.

Since 2004, the FFC has organized conferences together with top universities. Scientists, researchers, and food industry professionals present their research and discoveries about healthy, functional, and medical foods with bioactive compounds. In response to the growth of this field, we are proud to introduce the Academic Society for Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds.
