Needs of the agri-food chain published by CCFRA
Needs of the agri-food chain published by CCFRA
The food industry will benefit by seeing science and technology applied directly to its needs following CCFRA's publication of a new strategy document. The needs of the agri-food chain presents industry's view of its own scientific and technical needs - identified through an extensive year long consultation with the senior industrial representatives that make up CCFRA's Scientific & Technical Committee and fourteen industry-led advisory panels. The needs are organised around six strategic themes: raw materials and ingredients; manufacturing and supply; product quality and innovation; food and the consumer; food and drink safety; and knowledge management.
It is anticipated that the document will foster partnerships between industry, funding bodies and science and technology providers, and that the needs will be met through a wide range of activities including research and development, provision of scientific and technical services, and knowledge transfer.
