The 5th GFFC will be organized by IFIF together with the European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC) with technical support by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and will be hosted by the Turkish Feed Manufacturers' Federation (TURKIYEM BIR).

The Global Feed & Food Congress series was launched in 2005 by IFIF in cooperation with the FAO to provide a global platform for industry and governments to come together to discuss critical issues of food and feed safety, technology and sustainability.

The tri-annual Congress has established itself as the leading global event of its kind and was last held in Sun City, South Africa, in April 2013.
