Potenziale im Informationsmanagement in ökologischproduzierenden Ketten der Schweinefleischerzeugung

Summary

EU regulation 834/2007 harmonises the reglementations for the organic production
within the EU. Nevertheless, due to national distinctions, the European organic pork
production differs in structure of their supply chains (heterogeneity of production and
processing). A broad spectrum in characteristics of organic meat programs are
consequences. As a result of increasing requirements to quality assurance of products
(such as EU regulation 178/2002), traceability becomes more important. Hence, the
relevant information has to be selected and data have to be evaluated. These challenges
also have to be managed by organic pig producers. A well structured information
management, not only internal, but also inter-organisational is essential. This study
shows potentials for improving information management in organic pork production
chains in Europe.
