Since 1995, the Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) at EISC, Inc. has provided technical solutions to companies involved in some of Ohio's largest and most economically significant industries: food production, processing, and packaging. CIFT's mission is to help members of the agribusiness sector improve their competitive position through the development and adaptation of emerging technologies, industry best practices, and novel business approaches.
The Center's staff of business advisors and food scientists have worked with hundreds of food processors, industry equipment manufacturers and suppliers, university researchers and government agencies on industry-driven projects throughout the state of Ohio and the nation. The topics addressed by these projects include food safety and quality, new product and package development, manufacturing productivity, evaluation of novel processing technologies, sensory evaluation, custom equipment design, small business development, and training.
In 2004, CIFT launched the Rural Income Enhancement Program with the mission to identify, evaluate, demonstrate, and promote growth opportunities for growers, processors, distributors, and marketers of agricultural products. Major program initiatives include development of direct marketing programs; identification, evaluation, and promotion of specialty crops; the greenhouse and bedding plant project; an expanded small business program; and renewable energy solutions.
