WELFARE QUALITY - Integration of animal welfare in the food quality chain: from public concern to improved welfare and transparent quality
Project
Project code: 506508
Contract period: 01.05.2004
- 30.04.2009
Budget: 14,400,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The primary objective of the 'Food Quality and Safety' Priority is to improve the health and well-being of European citizens through ensuring a higher quality of food. In a 'fork to farm' approach it recognises that consumer perception of food quality is n ot only determined by overall nature and safety but also by the welfare status of the animal from which it was produced. Thus, animal welfare is part of an overall 'food quality concept'.Within WELFARE QUALITY, leading European groups with the most appropr iate specialist expertise are integrated to build on European research strengths and to realise important societal and policy objectives in this Priority Area.
