With Ireland relying heavily on the export market, both Teagasc and Musgrave Group have pinpointed the need to protect the integrity of the Irish agri-food system.
Speaking at the announcement of the initiative, PhD co-supervisor Dr Maeve Henchion highlighted the importance of protecting our supply chain from the “potential deliberate adulteration of food products”.
The aim of the PhD is to identify the challenges facing the industry ranging from the breaches in food integrity, understanding motivation of perpetrators and identifying gaps in the governing policy.
