The Food Science Center was established in April 2009 in order to promote collaboration among food-related industries. It is located in central Shizuoka Prefecture’s Chubu region, home to many food-related businesses, universities, and research institutions that are important contributors to the food industry and life sciences. By promoting safe and trusted food products that utilize the region’s abundant resources, the Food Science Center works to implement the Food Science Hills Project’s Strategic Plan and encourage healthy lifestyles for the residents of Shizuoka Prefecture.
