Food science is a vast field. Off late, it has been booming tremendously. Food is a basic necessity for humans. So you can be assured that this industry will never face the drawbacks of recession. When it comes to food science, there are two major divisions. One is the food science and nutrition, and the other food science in the food industry. Both the fields are expanding in India and abroad. I'm currently pursuing the latter one, but both are equally demanding. Food choices and lifestyles have changed over time. Diseases and disorders have spread rapidly. Weight loss and healthy body goal are gaining popularity. This way a nutritionist can help the vast amount of people and can cater to their needs. The food industry is another sector closely related to the nutritional sector as they deal with nutritional value of the products sold in the market. Food industry requires you to work with a company to improve, innovate and protect food products. This is a field where many external industries come in contact as well, like management, packaging, etc.
