WELCOME
There is one thing you can leave behind when you come to Cancun - your tie! Yes, the Congress is dressing down to blend in with the local beach environment and to make it more comfortable for all our delegates - and speakers and chairpersons alike. We are dressing 'business casual'. We look forward to an informal setting to discuss some of the most important issues for our industry globally. Go on, leave the tie behind ... and come to Cancun to enjoy a Congress with a difference.
GLOBAL FEED & FOOD III CONGRESS MEXICO 2010
The objective of this III Congress is to define policies and mechanisms to assure that people of the world will have safe and sufficient food at all times. The paradise of Cancun will be the stage to present and discuss the subjects about production, sustainably, transport, process and distribution of raw materials and final products.
THE FOOD CHAIN: FROM FARM TO TABLE
Food safety is a global issue that demands a global response. The answer is very close to home -in the farms, fields, orchards and rivers– where our food has its source.
FAO is advocated a new approach to ensuring that the food we eat is free from food-borne hazards – everything from pesticides and industrial chemicals, through to unwanted bacteria and contaminants.
The key is to strengthen each and every link in the complex process of food reaching the consumer –from the way it is grown or raised, to how it is collected, processed, packaged, sold and consumed.
