EDC Weekly Commentary by Peter G. Hall (Audio)

There is very little awareness of what the people in the food industry actually do. This stems back to the lack of knowledge and awareness of the range of degree courses and programs available that will equip them for a career in food. My FoodJobRocks! by Adam Yee is the first podcast of its kind that allows listeners to hear directly from people who are in the food industry and have a passion for what they do. They share how they became involved in food and describe what it is they do, plus a

I’m a big fan of talking to product developers because the more and more I talk to them, I realize they have the same problems I do!
