KBBE-2009-2-5-01: International food trade: anticipating the impact of climate change on the safety of European and global food markets – SICA
| Copy Link | |
| Description: | Climate change is projected to have a significant impact on European and global food and feed markets. At present Europe is the biggest importer and exporter of food products. Climate change could make Europe more dependent on food imports of non-European origin but, conversely, offers new opportunities to the European food industry through the exploitation of new crops and animals originating from areas with an ecology similar to that expected in Europe in the future. The aim of this topic is dual: to explore new food and feed contamination pathways from natural and man-made chemicals and micro-organisms in Europe and, secondly, to investigate opportunities and risks for mutually beneficial international food trade, addressing all factors relevant to supporting and safeguarding trade in food, including appropriate packaging technologies, transport efficiency and logistics. The project will produce shared life-cycle quality assurance methods and processes together with risk assessment methods with Europe’s non-EU partners that take into account their specific production and processing conditions. |
