Food defense project meeting Croatia

I have really enjoyed spending three days last week at a research meeting in Croatia for our REACTION project. REACTION project is a EU-funded project which aims to increase Europe’s resilience against food-related biological and chemical threats through cost-efficient threats identification tools, the development of AI-based monitoring and management tools, the increase of cooperation and awareness regarding food defence within experts and public audience. The project is composed of 13 partners, 12 from Europe and 1 from South America who are combining their diverse experiences and expertise to address the issue of food defence in a holistic and systems-based way.

Find out more here - https://www.reactionproject.eu/ and I will be giving updates as the project develops.

NFU Tenants Conference

It was really interesting to go to the NFU Tenants Conference last week and here a presentation by Alan Laidlaw, the Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector . In England, 45% of holdings are either wholly tenanted or mixed tenure, and a third of all agricultural land in England is tenanted. This leadership role has a wide remit and significant potential for positive outcomes and impacts. This role will require courageous leadership the subject of a previous post on this blog.
