The objective of Q-PorkChains was to develop innovative, integrated and sustainable food production chains of high quality pork products matching consumer demands, by development and testing of advanced and multi-disciplinary approaches for identification, characterisation, prediction, and control of the quality of pork and pork products in different stages of the pork chain in diverse production systems. Q-PorkChains was the largest project of the EU six framework program, which was engaged in meat science. More than 50 organisations from 21 countries worked together on the project for five years, from 2007-2011.
