We not only want our food to be safe\, tasty and make us healthy\, but also that it is produced in a sustainable way without excessive processing and unnec essary additives. Many also want more plant protein and tasty\, varied veg etarian food from locally grown producers. We may not fully realize what a complex and intriguing material we are putting in our mouth when we eat. The complexity of food not only provides the good feeling when we eat\, bu t also provides the nutrition and health that we need.\n\nSweden has made very large investments in complex and exciting research tools in Lund\, na mely ESS and MAX IV. With the new tools at hand we are developing systemat ic understanding of food structure in connection to processing as well as digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients. In the future we will ther efore be able to design healthy\, sustainable and tasty food\; taking its foundations from the food structure knowledge! \n\nThe challenges are lar ge\, but stimulating\, and the food industry and academia are ready to mee t them jointly. This was clearly demonstrated in March 2019 through the hi gh and active participation in the first "Northern Lights on Food" (NLF) w orkshop in Lund. At this first NLF workshop\, industry and academia starte d to discuss how food research and development can be strengthened through the technologies available in conjunction with MAX IV and ESS. The worksh op attracted over 100 Nordic food scientists\, including industry represen tatives\, scientists and product developers from both national and interna tional food companies.\n\nNow we are moving forward and are proud to annou nce the second Northern Lights on Food Conference\, June 9-11 2021\, this time organised with financial support from Formas. We will bring together the key actors in the food sector\, including academic researchers\, insti tutes and the food industry\, with experts in X-ray and neutron-based tech niques. The aim is to establish and organise a Northern Light on Food (NLF ) network that will provide food researchers with the opportunity to take full advantage of the new research tools provided by Large Scale Research Infrastructure (LSRI)\, ESS and MAX IV\, emerging in Lund.\n\nWhen: June 9 \, 12.00 - June 11\, 13.00\nWhere: Zoom\nDeadline: Registration deadline i s June 7\nCost: No fee since the event is fully digital\n\nPanel discussio n\n\nModerator: Pia Kinhult\, ESS\, Sweden\nPanelists: Elisabet Nielsen (V innova)\, Johanna van Schaik Dernfalk (Formas)\, Carina Knorpp (Näringsde partementet)\, Rickard Öste (Aventure/Oatly)\, Tommy Nylander (LU-LINXS)\ n\nTalking Points:\n1. The high global consumption of animal-based foods n eeds to be reduced and replaced by plant-based alternatives to reach the s ustainability goals of society. This is challenging in numerous ways\; fro m a lack of understanding of food structure\, to missing protein sources a ppropriate for a Scandinavian climate. At the same time the degree of self -sufficiency in Sweden has declined and in Sweden there is a consumer dema nds on the use of locally produces for food production. How do we meet the se challenges? \n\n2. Tackling  the societal challenges\, such as supply \, sustainable production\, health and well-being connected to food produ ction requires addressing gap in scientific knowledge and adopting multidi sciplinary approaches as well as knowledge transfer between research insti tution and industry. How do we achieve this? How do we unleash the full po tential of existing research potential and entrepreneurship in industry? C an the food sector be as successful and important as the IT sector? What d oes it take?\n\n3. The establishment of ESS and MAX IV in Lund an entirely new toolbox for food science via the new in situ x-ray and neutron techni ques\, to obtain unsurpassed knowledge on the structuring of plant-based f ood matrices as well as traditional food from farm to fork and beyond. We can for the first time study processing in situ\, which offer new opportun ities for sustainable processing with efficient use of the raw material an d minimal energy consumption at the same time as we  obtain healthy\, saf e and tasty food. How do we exploit this unique opportunity? Challenges ar e the lack of resources and lack of knowledge in the industry\, in particu lar in small companies. How do we meet these challenges? The ESS and MAXIV is being built up now and there is an unique opportunity to  engage in i nstruments and sample environment? How can food industry and food research ers engage with facilities to make them even better to study challenges in food research and development? \n\n4. Should we establish European Food Laboratory (EuFL) for food science research and related applications in Sc ience Village Scandinavia next to MAX IV and ESS as a physical and virtual arena where food scientists in academia and industry meet\, collaborate\, and integrate advanced X-ray and neutron techniques into their skillset? How do we concretely get started? Could we use the model of ESS based on a greements between different countries? Or could we organise it as EMBL Eur opean Molecular Biology Laboratory as a membership organisation? How do we ensure inclusion and complementarity? How do we engage industry?\n\nStude nt speed dating\n\nDo you want to meet your peers\, and see how they have used these techniques in their research\, or how to get some inspiration f or your work?  If you are a young investigator\, and want to network\, p lease join this speed dating session.  A one-hour meeting with short\, br eakout sessions to get to know each other\, and connect with future collea gues!\n\nConfirmed speakers\n\nBenjamin Boyd - Monash University\, Austral ia\nMarta Martínez Sanz - CIAL-CSIC\, Madrid\, Spain\nKrassimir Velikov - Unilever\, the Netherlands\nBehnaz Pirzamanbein - Lund University\, Swede n & QiM DTU\, Denmark\nAlejandro Marangoni - University of Guelph\, Canada \nShuai Bai - Lund University\, Sweden\nThea Lykkegaard Møller - Aarhus University\, Denmark\nWilliam Twengström - Exciscope AB\, Sweden\nPeter Fischer - ETH Zurich\, Switzerland\nEmanuel Larsson - Lund University\, Sw eden\nGregor Rudolph - Lund University\, Sweden\nLaurence Ramos - CNRS-Un iversity Montpellier\, France\nFrancisco Vilaplana - KTH\, Sweden\nSisse Marquina-Jonberg - Novo Nordisk Foundation\, Denmark\nMaria Öhman - Vinno va\, Sweden\nChristian Malmberg - Lantmännen\, Sweden\nHans Tromp - NIZ O\, The Netherlands\nPeter L Wejse - Arla\, Denmark\nMilena Corredig - Aa rhus University\, Denmark\nRamune Kuktaite - SLU Alnarp\, Sweden\nWim Bouw man - Delft University of Technology\, the Netherlands\n\nOrganizing comm ittee\n\nAnna Ström – Chalmers University of Technology\, Sweden\nNikla s Lorén – RISE\, Sweden\nMilena Corredig – iFood Centre for Innovativ e Food Research\, Aarhus University\, Denmark\nMaud Langton – Swedish Un iversity of Agricultural Sciences\, Sweden\nLars Nilsson - Lund Universi ty\, Sweden\nElisabet Rytter – Livsmedelsföretagen/Sweden Food Arena\nS tephen Hall – Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science (LINX S)\, Sweden\nÅsa Grunning - Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science (LINXS)\, Sweden\nTommy Nylander – Lund University\, Sweden\nS elma Maric – MAX IV Laboratory\n\nNorthern Lights on Food website.\n\nDu ring our events we sometimes take photographs and short film clips to prof ile our activities.
