Project Period |
3.5 years: From 6/2010 to 12/2013 |
Overall Objective |
Current EU policy supporting international trade between Asia and Europe concentrates on issues of food safety as measures of quality, whilst market-forces drive development of standards and labels that identify social and environmental parameters. This project proposes to establish an evidence-based framework to support current and future stakeholder dialogues organised by a third party certifier. This will contribute to harmonising standards, helping consumers to make fully informed choices with regards to the sustainability and safety of their seafood. |
Specific Objectives |
Research outputs will provide the evidence-base for the creation of an ‘Ethical Aquatic Food Index’ (EAFI). This key project outcome will be used to disseminate complex project findings to the wider public in a concise and understandable way. Collaboration will also take place with European and Asian small and medium scale-enterprises (SMEs) to address specific sustainability questions. |
