The second CONSOLFOOD conference—CONSOLFOOD 2018—took place in Faro, Portugal, on 22nd – 24th January, 2018. It was hosted again by Professor Celestino Ruivo, at the Institute of Engineering, University of the Algarve. Between sixty and eighty people attended the lectures, poster sessions, and a round table discussion about solar thermal food processing over the three-day conference. Twenty-four lectures and fifteen posters were presented. Throughout the conference, there was a large display of diverse solar cooking/drying equipment, and, thanks to sunny weather, most of the food was cooked with solar cookers. Once again, the conference generated an intimate, supportive, “solar family” atmosphere that enabled the participants to swap knowledge and experiences during breaks in the programme.

The proceedings – abstracts, presentations, posters, and papers – will be made freely available in PDF format on the CONSOLFOOD website. Video and audio recordings and presentations will be available at other sites. Links to these are available from the CONSOLFOOD website.
