Food engineers, also known as agricultural and food scientists, combine engineering concepts
with microbiology, chemistry and other sciences to create the best ways to make processed
foods tasty, healthy and safe. They're responsible for every step of food production, from
production to distribution. It's also their job to figure out the safest and most environmentally
friendly ways of processing, packaging, preserving and storing foods for distribution.
