The organizing committee would like to express our appreciation for the generous and active support from our Chinese partner and co-host, the Chinese Dietary Culture Institute, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou, China.
The Ministry of Culture of Thailand has been most generous in giving support for this academic endeavor. All the scholars and colleagues from various organizations in Thailand and aboard have giving us valuable support by presenting and sharing their research work on food at this venue. Last, but not least, our academic networks at Chulalongkorn University, namely, the Institute of Asian Studies, the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, and the Halal Science Center have made this academic occasion a memorable reality and success.
