California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE)

The California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research (CIFAR) established a Food Industry Advisory Council (FIAC), comprised of industry and technology experts, to lead discussions in order to determine the state of the industry, to prioritize research needs, and develop a vision and plan for the future. CIFAR facilitated this process and subsequently, held several public forums and meetings to develop the California food processing roadmap. These outcomes supported California’s Public Interest Energy Research Program.
