Organic Farming, Food Quality and Human Health
6 January – 9 January 2005 at Newcastle, UK
Full programme and booking facilities for the international congress on "Organic Farming, Food Quality and Human Health" are now available at http://www.qlif.org
The congress combines the Soil Association annual conference and the 1st Stakeholder Congress of the EU-Integrated Project QualityLowInputFood, and the aim is to:
- Present the outputs of recently completed and ongoing research to consumers, food producers, processors, traders/retailers and other stakeholders
- Initiate critical discussions between researchers and stakeholder groups on a wide range of food supply chain-related issues that are of concern to consumers
- Enable stakeholders in the food supply chains to influence the future research agenda
- Contribute to the development of improved quality and safety focused food production and processing standards
The congress is targeted at producers, processors, and retailers of foods from organic and “low input” production systems together with consumer organisations, political decision makers, NGOs, media and agricultural supply and service industries. You are most welcome to forward this message to colleagues who might be interested in joining the congress.
