Food for life (Web)
This ETP wants to improve welfare and well-being in Europe through research and innovation in the European agro-food industry. It is hosted by the CIAA, the Confederation of the European Food and Drink Industry, which is the voice of the food and drink industry – the first industrial sector, major employer and exporter in the EU.
The ETP Food for Life Vision for 2020 (LINK) and beyond was launched in Brussels on 5 July 2005. The next stage, currently underway, is the development of a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) (LINK) affording a dynamic strategy for achieving this vision and meeting the innovation challenge, and a detailed Implementation Plan that describes the research, training, education and dissemination requirements needed to fulfil the vision and strategy. The immediate focus is on defining the requirements and priorities for the European Commission’s Framework Programme 7, but in the longer term this focus will be broadened to include nationally-funded initiatives.
As a direct result of the SRA national consultations organized between April 2006 and January 2007, a number of countries have taken the decision to establish National Food Platforms.(LINK)
