“Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again.”
Matthew Arnold
The Israeli Fermentation Society (IFS) was founded in 2016 with a mission to develop and support the expanding fermentation ecosystem in Israel.
Our Goal
Fermentation Conference: Israel's Industry Nexus
The IFS’s flagship event is the Annual Fermentation Conference, a tradition that has become the cornerstone for all stakeholders in Israel’s fermentation-based industries. The conference is a productive ground for sharing knowledge, fostering professional growth, and enhancing collaborative efforts. It serves as a forum for vibrant discussions and the exchange of ideas among innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, industry veterans, suppliers, and field experts, addressing the full spectrum of technological and ecological considerations, as well as the symbiotic relationship between academia and the commercial sector.
Leadership and Acknowledgments
The IFS is directed by a dedicated board of directors, comprising approximately 20 volunteers from various industrial sectors integral to fermentation. We extend our deepest gratitude to each member for their invaluable and noble contributions.
