It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 4^th International Congress ‘’Food Quality, Technology and Safety and 18^th International Symposium ‘’Feed Technology’’ to be held jointly within the framework of FoodTech 2018 event in October 2018, in Novi Sad, Serbia. Our biannual event traditionally combines great scientific content with stimulating lectures, networking opportunities and rich social programme, all sprinkled with smells and tastes of local food.

Nevertheless, food is our focal point – food which provides us enjoyment and balanced and tasty nutrition. In the socially responsible world, the creators of food and feed strive to design food and feed not only to provide good health and long life, but to protect the environment, decrease poverty and, above all, cause consumer satisfaction. Innovation and innovative trends in food and feed science and technology are helping us to fulfil all these demands, and make this world a better place to live.
