Several feed industry organizations across the EU decided to establish the EUFETEC, in close collaboration with the academic world and research institutes. This EUFETEC has the ambition to initiate and coordinate a European response to priority industry challenges in areas such as Sustainable Feed & Environment, Feed & Food Quality and Safety, and Production Unit Management. This response will focus on harmonized and cross border innovative RTD, the subsequent development of practical guidelines, training and service provision. Through this sustainable and structural collaboration - also with relevant European Technology Platforms - a competitive European feed industry can continue to play its various roles within the European market and society.
