00:00:06:03 - 00:00:15:15
The challenge is how to secure safe, tasty
and healthy food for fast increasing population.

00:00:16:06 - 00:00:25:18
The Finland -China Food and Health Network aims to provide
a platform for scientists of the two countries to work together.

00:00:27:03 - 00:00:40:00
Also, we will promote the collaboration between scientists
and companies and the companies to work together to develop business partnership.

00:00:40:16 - 00:00:49:24
Lifestyle habits are really a key, key, important factors  in both health and disease.

00:00:51:09 - 00:00:58:19
 and one of the very important factors are food, food components and nutrition.

00:00:59:17 - 00:01:09:08
They determine a lot of our status of health and well-being, but also risk of diseases.

00:01:09:11 - 00:01:15:15
Finland and China has very complementary expertise in food science and technologies.   

00:01:16:01 - 00:01:22:05
Also, the companies have great potential to work together in research innovation and business collaboration.

00:01:23:04 - 00:01:29:02
I think by now we are all aware about the consequences of the climate warming.  

00:01:29:23 - 00:01:44:02
And there are, of course, a lot of actions in thinking about the sustainable development  and many of these actions that concern the food system, 

00:01:45:00 - 00:01:51:02
How we are using the agricultural raw materials? What are our ways in thinking about the primary production in the future? 

00:01:51:22 - 00:01:59:23
So the aim of Finland and China Food and Health Network is really to provide such a platform for scientists 

00:02:00:11 - 00:02:14:14
to work together to create new research results and scientific findings and innovations that will resolve the problems that  are facing the whole world.

00:02:16:17 - 00:02:25:02
Currently we have projects focusing on root vegetable side streams.

00:02:25:02 - 00:02:34:04
For example, we use carrots leaves, peels and pulp to recover proteins, dietary fiber, carotenoids, and apply them into novel foods. 

00:02:34:20 - 00:02:40:20
This project collaborates with the partners from China Agricultural University and Jiangnan University. 

00:02:40:20 - 00:02:49:13
Partners in China use state-of-the-art proteomics and glycomics approach to obtain comprehensive knowledge of the side streams. 

00:02:49:13 - 00:02:54:04
And this kind of research communication between the Finland and China will support food and environmental sustainability.
