Kickoff for Q-PorkChains weblog

 

The first discussion topic launched on the weblog is "Quality management in the pork production." Input for initiating the discussions is offered in form of a presentation made in cooperation with the Wageningen University (Netherlands), University of Bonn (Germany) and GIQS (German abbreviation for “Trans Border Integrated Quality Assurance”). The presentation offers a short summary of the quality relevant Europe-wide legal requirements, standards, norms and initiatives for the food production.

We wish to encourage interaction and knowledge exchange between stakeholders within pig and pork production and therefore offers the meat industry a weblog. The main aim of the weblog is to discuss current issues online in an international network. The Q- PorkChains weblog serves as an exchange of information, thoughts and experience and functions as a means of communication. 

To catch up with international experience and launch an exchange of opinions and views, the international Q-PorkChains network will address current discussion topics concerning pig and pork production at regular intervals.
