26 March 2022
Focus area: Marketing
Program stream: Growth and global competitiveness
Project number: 2017-1144
This project funded the evaluation of meat science issues at a global level by engaging industry, science leaders and industry stakeholders. A discussion paper was developed and published within the French peer reviewed Meat Science journal, Viandes & Produits CarnĂ©s (2018)which facilitated wider circulation and discussion. Sixty-three written responses were received. 

Key themes and sub-themes were identified from the responses within each of the core questions and relative rankings were calculated. A detailed report was produced that was circulated to an expert Meat Science group selected based on scientific reputation and industry engagement. Membership was drawn from the USA, Europe, and Australia. There was a strong commitment from all parties to actively address the issues with a major international summit planned for October 2022.
