Governance Structure
The General Assembly develops and controls IUFoST policies and actions. The Governing Council sets the objectives for the Term of Office and The Board implements strategies to achieve the objectives. The Scientific Council maintains the scientific standard and integrity of IUFoST activities. IUFoST formed the International Academy of Food Science and Technology (IAFoST), to recognise individuals with outstanding leadership in food science and technology. IAFoST is a learned society composed of elected members - Fellows - from all parts of the world. IUFoST's Regional Groupings, EFFoST (Europe), ALACCTA (Latin America), WAAFoST (West Africa) and FIFSTA (South East Asia) are an integral part of the organization. Standing Committees and Disciplinary Groupings comply with the IUFoST Constitution and they are guided by the General Assembly.

Famous quotes containing the words governance and/or structure:
“He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
To han the governance of hous and land,
And of his tonge and his hand also;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
