"It's not a matter of IF something can be done. It's a matter of WHEN, and that comes with understanding project management, vision, drive, as well as all the other components with it." -Brian Chau

 

Episode Description:

Food Science is the thoughtful application of multidisciplinary scientific principles to create products for long-term growth and sustainability. To ensure high quality and more effective outcomes, food scientists need to consider various aspects beyond the science and art of product development. They also need to consider the micro and the macroeconomics of the food business, food system operations, trends, and available technology.  Food science is the result of comprehensive research, careful analysis, and anything from farm to table.   

 

Brian Chau is a food scientist, fungal fanatic, and food system analyst. Brian is the founder of Chau Time, a consulting firm that includes a wide scope of services ranging from food safety to food business. Chau Time has worked with big companies that produce functional foods which support health such as Dole, Good Medicine Co (now Agni For All), and ATAQ Fuel.  In this episode, Brian talks about how food science can help innovate better-for-you food, minimize risks, and bridge the gap in the food system. Tune in to learn how to help create a food system that puts "people first!"

In the middle of Spring 2011, an impromptu brainstorm session emerged to five college students while eating which gave birth to Chau Time, a podcast hosted by Brian.
