In early March, UBC held a groundbreaking ceremony to start construction on its new Food and Beverage Innovation Centre, which is being led by CSFS Associate Dr. Anubhav Pratap-Singh.
According to Dave Eto, president of local business consulting firm Qumai Consulting, a food-processing pilot plant like this would help businesses develop new and creative products right here in B.C. instead of spending time, effort and resources to visit external facilities.
