The Institute of Food Science & Technology (IFST) is the voice of the food profession. We are the leading qualifying body for food professionals in Europe and the only professional body in the UK concerned with all aspects of food science and technology.

Ecotrophelia is an Europe-wide Dragons' Den style competition that challenges student teams to develop the best eco-innovative food products, which they then pitch to industry leaders. The UK competition is organised jointly by IFST and Campden BRI and is open to teams of students from UK universities. The first UK competition took place in 2013 and has been run annually since.

The winner of the UK heat goes forward to represent the UK at the European final.
