The Purpose of the Network
A link to enable the food, drink and health related industries to access, discuss and exchange knowledge with IFR scientists, generating competitive advantage through early access to the latest research.
Our Expertise Clusters:
Food Chain SustainabilityIn this cluster we are contributing to new methods of analysing food processing waste and the development of novel, economically feasible methods of upgrading waste to increase its value. |
Food SafetyExploring current advances in predictive microbiology and risk analysis and develop improved decision support systems to manage microbial food risk. |
