It is with great pleasure to welcome you to 2nd Food Structure Design Congress that will be held in Antalya, Turkey. I am absolutely delighted to host this international congress that will bring academics, private sector and government delegates together. Thank you to all participants, sponsors and exhibitors who recognize the value of being involved and present at such an international and cross disciplinary event. Thank you also to all our COST Action FA1001 Members, especially action leader Prof. Laura Piazza for their endless efforts and dedication, as well as their continues support.
