Topics of Interest

The Conference Programme encompasses the range of subtopics grouped in six tracks provided.

 

The composition of the Conference Programme emphasizes the importance of the holistic approach to the food safety and quality issues, in the continuum “from farm to fork”.

 

Note: Please take into consideration that Conference Programme also offers the opportunity to address other food chains of animal origin, apart from the meat chain only, e.g. milk/dairy, eggs, fish/shellfish, honey, feed.

 

Therefore, we strongly encourage all delegates to submit their research results and/or review papers reflecting the most relevant issues and novel approaches in the chain of food of animal origin.
