CONSOLFOOD 2020 took place 22-24 January 2020 at Instituto Superior de Engenharia, Universidade do Algarve, Campus da Penha, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal. The Organizing Committee, under the Chairmanship of Celestino Ruivo, received almost 60 relevant papers from all over the world. These were submitted to the Scientific and Advisory Committee for review. In all, 48 papers were presented during the three-day Conference. Once again, the focus was on advances in solar cooking, solar food processing, and related topics. All abstracts, presentations, and some full-length papers from this, and previous CONSOLFOOD conferences, may be freely downloaded from the CONSOLFOOD website: http://www.consolfood.org
