Open Forum

Good morning,

CIFST is currently working with Canadian Food Business Magazine to provide content for their upcoming fall issue. I am looking for authors to pen two articles about functional foods. Each article is approximately 1000 words. The deadline is very tight however, due on Wednesday, August 31.

Here are the details;

Article #1: The rise of the plant-based ingredient market

An overview of the current use of plant-based ingredients in health foods and supplements and prognostication concerning the future impacts of the expanding market.

Within this article, items to explore:

- Current uses of plant-based ingredients and the products they're most commonly found in

- The forcing functions driving the growth of the plant-based ingredient market

- The impact the use of plant-based ingredients has on the overall health food and supplement industry

- Opportunities for further growth

- Challenges or impediments to growth


Article #2: 5 functional foods that you may not have heard of before

A listicle-style article introducing functional foods, providing some stats around Canadian consumption and purchase, before listing some of the (recommended 5) more useful or beneficial functional foods available on the market today, including their biological health benefits.

If you are interested in writing either piece or have questions, please email me at heidi@cifst.ca. I will put you in touch with the editor.

Hello Heidi!

I saw that this opportunity was snapped up, but just wanted to put it out here I’d be happy to pen a piece for you folks sometime. I’ve had a piece or two published in my day.

Warmly,

Hi Mandy,

Wonderful! Would you mind emailing me at heidi@cifst.ca and let me know what area you would like to contribute? There might be something else in the near future as this is an ongoing relationship that we have with Canadian Food Business.

Kind regards,
Heidi.

@Heidi Loney

I love #2 as many elements are unknown in this space. Hopefully some focus around resistant starches, nutraceutical elements and microbiome. ​

Hi Heidi: Not sure I can help on this article but wanted to reply in case it works or maybe for a future issue. We specialize in UVC LED technology that enhances the growth of plant food and berries and extends shelf life 9 days on grocery shelves. As well we eradicate all viruses, bacteria’s and mold on food groups so let me know if this may be of interest and we can converse further. Regards Dave

@Mandi Lunan we’ll also keep this in mind as CFIN creates a lot of content, too. ​
