A concerted action for the development of a framework for the effective implementation of traceability of products throughout the food supply chain

Objective

Footrace is a thirty month Concerted Action to develop a tractability framework for the whole food chain from farm to table. It will enable the industry to meet the needs of consumers and other stakeholders. Footrace addresses key points in the Food Safety White Paper and the Quality of Life programme. It will have a stakeholder group to define socio-economic and political needs, seventeen plus nodes for national and sector interests, three Special Interest Groups to look at data carriers and data capture, information retrieval and business methods, supply chain models and tractability standards. Footrace will be open to all stakeholders through its website, e-news and e-discussion groups. There will be two working conferences, and net meetings throughout. Footrace will present its final report at a conference open to everyone involved in European and international food chains. It will post the report on its website.
