Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scientific and the Organizing Committee of the 65th International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST 2019), we are pleased to present this Special Issue of Foods themed “Meat for Diversifying Markets”, containing the manuscripts of invited speakers for the congress.
Worldwide, meat and meat products are becoming an intrinsic part of evermore diversifying markets. With this in mind, we need to consider future scenarios concerning potential developments and options in a globalized world. On one hand there are interventions from the political sphere, but there is also a demand for innovation from within the meat sector itself. Will globalized free trade and digitalization have a significant impact on the meat industry? Will values such as regionalization and quality gain importance in the future? To what extent does consumer behavior lead to market-driven innovations? Is the meat sector able to push innovation on its own terms?
The 65th International Congress of Meat Science and Technology 2019 in Potsdam/Berlin, Germany 04–09 August 2019 is planned to deal with various main topics, including: consumer behavior and ethics, quality and safety, processed meat and meat analogues, animal production, emerging technologies, muscle biology and metabolism, human nutrition, and sustainability.
Our specific appreciation is expressed to all the authors of the invited papers for their excellent quality and adherence to the timeline of submission and revisions. We would also like to thank the colleagues who reviewed the manuscripts for this Special Issue of Foods, and we are sure that it will make a significant contribution to Meat Science and Technology throughout the globe.
Sincere thanks are extended to all the delegates and sponsors for contributing to the success of the Congress 2019 in Germany.
* The Article Processing Charge (APC) for all accepted papers is covered by the conference agency of the ICoMST 2019.
