POLISH TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS ON FOOD Kiev 9 February 2006

PRESENT SITUATION

A World of Value Chains  Food chains –Bread chain –Pasta chain –Edible oil chain –Fresh fruit and vegetable chain –Processed fruit and vegetable chains, e.g. frozen, canned, dried –Beverage chains, e.g. beer, juices, wine  Feed chains –Meat chains –Milk chains –Egg chains  Industrial use chains –Starch chains –Natural fibre chains –Energy chains

Consumer Needs Trust Does it do what the advertising claims? What does the label mean? Does it taste good? Is it good for me? Is it safe to eat? What was added? Can I trust this brand? Can I trust this company? Is it fresh? Is it natural? Honesty Food Safety Naturalness Familiarity Quality

Trends in Society; other side of the coin  Ageing population  Changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns have increased the incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases incl. –Obesity –Cardiovascular diseases –Hypertension –Diabetes mellitus –Certain cancers Mat. ETP Brussels

Concept for the creation of Polish Technology Platform for Food Polish Technology Platform for Food (PTPF) is voluntary agreement of public and private institutions interested in development of agro- food sector in Poland, in particular, high quality food. PTPF encompass key representatives of Polish food industry and R&D institutions as well as other partners responsible for the development of the food sector and production of high quality food.

Major areas of interest of the food sector: increase of food and feed safety, quality and health properties along the entire production chain; economic utilisation of the agricultural raw materials of different quality as well as by-products and wastes from the food industry; creation and development of safe technologies assuring lowering production costs.

NATIONAL FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME Bill of Principles for financing of science of 5 February 2005: National Framework Programme defines priorities in research or developmental works. Minister for Science formulates National Framework Programme based on proposals submitted by ministers, voivodes, regional self-governments, President of the Polish Academy of Science, higher education institutions or economic self-government organisation of national scope (Art. 10, pt. 2) The law permits for financing of Ordered Research Projects of thematic areas defined in National Framework Programme.
