Welcome
 

Welcome to the first edition of the TRADEIT Newsletter. The TRADEIT project is focused upon the provision of supports to Traditional Food Producing SMEs and food researchers associated with the Dairy, Meat and Bakery sectors.

Through the development of the TRADEIT network and collaborative infrastructures the project will address three key challenges faced by the traditional food sector

  • knowledge & technology transfer,
  • innovation skill gap in food research
  • the need for a comprehensive research agenda and innovation agenda for traditional foods.  

In each quarterly Newsletter you will read about the main progresses made by the project in these thematic areas through articles and interviews.  You will also find the latest news on innovation, technologies and emerging knowledge relevant to the traditional Agri-food stakeholders.

The objective is to promote connectivity and interaction between stakeholders, we invite you to actively participate through feedback, comments, social media sharing and article submissions for publication in future issues.

I encourage you to join the TRADEIT network and to avail of the extensive expertise and offerings available over the coming 3 years.

Visit the TRADEIT website and please feel free to circulate this newsletter using the Send To A Friend feature
