Message From Chairman

The World is now facing the serious problem of ensuring safe, nutritious and cheap food to cater the need of the common people and on the other hand non-communicable diseases like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer are increasing in tremendous rate. Both under nutrition and over nutrition co-exist in Bangladesh. This has necessitated the service of huge number of skilled and educated manpower in the field of Nutrition and Food Technology.

Jashore University of Science and Technology has come up to take the challenge of this crucial issue and opened the Department of Nutrition and Food Technology under the Faculty of Applied Science and Technology (FAST) with an aim to provide skilled and educated manpower to solve under nutrition as well as diet related chronic diseases of the country and to meet the demand of the ever expanding food processing industries in the country and also in the world.
