- Are you a part of the global food value chain and focused on environmental sustainability, food production, food safety, product development or marketing food products?
- Do you recognize that food traceability systems are not foolproof?
Traceability – or the ability to follow a food, feed, food producing animal, plant or ingredients through all stages of production and distribution – has become a global reality for commerce.
It is becoming increasingly imperative to know where inputs come from, how food is produced, what it contains and where products go. This is linked very closely to emerging value chain management issues.
We invite your participation in developing a traceability research & development strategy that will forge partnerships between industry, academia and government participants and keep Canada at the forefront of global food production and processing.
