FishPopTrace at the 'What's For Lunch' Conference

(September 20, 2011)

FishPopTrace were present at the What's For Lunch Interactive Media Conference in Brussels. The Conference focused on the outputs of FP6 and FP7 research projects on Food Chain Traceability. Food integrity is becoming increasingly important; authenticity, origin of food, geographical location, traceability and security and safety of food production requires new diagnostic tools and implementation of new information systems. FishPopTrace representatives presented the outputs of the project and handled questions from the media.
