Results Of A European Market And Stakeholder Survey About Organic Processing Technologies

Summary in the original language of the document

Today there is a lack of mandatory standards and indications for suitable methods regarding the organic food processing within Europe. Hence, the main objective of the EU funded Core Organic - ProOrg project is to develop a set of strategies and tools (Code of Practice) that would serve to food processors in the selection of appropriate technologies. It will give guidance to make a better choice for careful, minimal and mild processing methods.Before drafting a Code of Practise for processors, a market and stakeholder survey is conducted to reveal opinions regarding the (potential) usage of certain (new) technologies in organic food processing.For that purpose an online questionnaire is targeted at experts in organic food processing as well as at other organic stakeholder across Europe. The survey process will run between November 2019 and january 2020. The results will be analysed through descriptive statistic methods and compared between different stakeholder groups.
