Food science & technology is the study of how to optimize agricultural output, while food technology is the implementation of those improvements. The majority of food scientists and technologists work in research capacities for labs, companies or universities, but a considerable number of positions are also available in manufacturing industries. Careers in food science and technology afford researchers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the healthfulness of people's diets around the world. Strong academic backgrounds in chemistry, biology, engineering, genetics and other relevant sciences can be parlayed into food science and technology positions in a variety of settings. Food scientists and technologists are employed by the government and food-processing industries, as well as by universities, where they occupy research positions.
