The program, REFT Local Heroes 2020, is designed with the objective of aware young food technologists about their roles and finding out food-related issues from our community level. On one hand, it aims to solve the Hunger Crisis of respective communities, while it thrives to develop leadership and empower young food scientists and technologists. Additionally, it can sensitize different stakeholders towards their roles to achieve SDGs amidst the global crisis after COVID-19.

It's a 5 days’ program where the young food technologists share their ideas and concepts and those ideas will be polished through the mentorship of food technologists’ expertise. We will not be limited to only online discussion forums; we will seek possible opportunities to work out those ideas to the respective community level.

The official announcement of the program will be done on social media. Based on pre-assigned criteria, the final 12 teams will be selected for presentation and the format of presentation, selection criteria, and documentation aspect will be addressed in the orientation session. In the first 2 zoom sessions we will hear all the ideas, issues, solutions the team comes up with, invited mentors, subject experts, and organizers will help to polish the ideas, whereby the following ideas will be asked to implement in their respective community within 1 week and a final closing and celebration session will be held in zoom where we will have our winner of the program.
