What is the Healthy and Enhanced Meat Research program?

Listen to the Call of the Land interview summarizing the findings in the survey:
Part 1 - About the Industry Needs Assessment
Part 2 - Results of the Industry Needs Assessment
The purpose of this survey is to better understand the meat processing industries interest, position and practice of developing healthy and enhanced meat products. The results help us to better understand what individual stakeholders, organizations, and its members are doing in the area of healthy and enhanced meat processing, and what they would like to do in the future. From the survey, Industry stakeholders demonstrated there is a desire to innovate in healthy and enhanced meat processing, and have indicated future interests, current and future priorities, and related concerns. This insight shows real opportunity for Agriculture and Forestry to build on the momentum of desired change and generate collaborative projects with industry through improved awareness and understanding of the work that AF, and specifically Food Processing Development Centre has to offer through the full value chain.
