SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA

Es un tema muy importante para la salud y que debe desarrollarse como parte de una política medioambiental y de protección de la ecología y el medio ambiente, así como de una educación para la seguridad ambiental y la salud.

Al respecto, incluimos tres importantes desarrollos:

 

1.- Propuesta Inicial del Proyecto Egocreanet:  "FOOD CONSUMER SCIENCE IN EUROPE” -EU PROJECT: (ver resumen de la  versión inicial- inglés).

2.- Guía sobre la educación alimentaria, y la dieta mediterránea, por Anna Russo, Italia: “Educazione Alimentare”, (relacionados al proyecto anterior):

Le diete calcolate sull'apporto calorico finiscono, infatti, per non essere capaci di realizzare un effettivo ed efficace rapporto tra alimentazione e salute, il quale dovrebbe essere fondato sulla qualità degli alimenti e quindi sulla valorizzazione dei prodotti tipici dei cibi biologici, freschi e stagionali, nonché dell’attenta considerazione della salute, prodotta dall’antica cultura alimentare dell'area mediterranea.

Preliminary approach, open to wellcome partnerschip's suggestions and changes .

Written by  Paolo Manzelli . 
 

  Dear Colleagues in address,

  I would like to inform you that the EGOCREANET PROPOSAL (http://www.egocreanet.it) starts  from the consideration that our future depends on conscious understanding of life science innovation. This because economic globalisation has changed the world economic order, bringing new opportunities and new challenges on Food, Agriculture & Biotechnology.  In this new economic order, Europe the problem of FOOD cannot compete unless it becomes more creative, reacts better to consumer needs and preferences and innovates more.

  As a matter of facts the Call KBBE-2007-1 requests to grow up new knowledge and new networking methods for a Network of Excellence (NoE) for giving an innovative comprehension to food's consumers through strengthening trans-disciplinary sciences related to the needs of food and agriculture industries in shaping demands to respond about new food and production biotechnology in a way to render compatible research activity and consumer science in food in the context of the development of Knowledge Based Bio-Economy.

  KNOWLEDGE BASED BIO-ECONOMY (KBBE ) requires a coherent long-term vision and food-consumers consensus. Therefore Europe cannot afford to focus exclusively on the scientific and research aspects to the detriment of social dialogue so as to ensure that science delivers what people need and complies with an acceptable ethical consensus. The European Strategy to develop KBBE requires proactive action on the scientific and humanistic and economic multidisciplinary research ,  in a way to organize a “Virtual European Centre” enjoining directly scientists and consumers for opening a social dialogue  to ensure that science delivers what people need and complies with an acceptable ethical consensus to the European BIO-Economy world wide development In addition, it involves bringing international stakeholders on board to chart a common course into the global future.

  To fit this goal the EGOCREANET proposes to all potential partners in address to enjoy the preliminary proposal to participate to the following call FP7 -KBBE-2007-2-1-01. 

 Henceforth EGOCREANET starts to promote better  growing of consciousness of Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) mostly it will be necessary to enhance an higher consumer's vision (CV) about the relationship of some important aspects of integrated scientific knowledge and the Reduced Risks of Health (RHR) through the attainment and maintenance of optimal health, physiological function and well-being.

  As a matter of facts the EGOCREANET proposed project's concepts and objectives will be oriented to an approach for improving Consumer Vision about the innovative issues in the scientific and socioeconomic, cultural, and psychological influences on food and nutrition behaviour as : Neurology an Well Being (NWB) Functional  properties of foods components (FPFC) and their effect on product quality effective perception,  Biologic and Metabolic Responses (BMR)  of factors affecting nutritional and health status.

 This approach based on enhancing KBBE conceptual innovation useful for advancing in EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY , will be coordinated with the research in the social and behavioural and psychological  sciences to focus on human behaviour of food choices  and consumers food organization changes on cultural, social  future perspectives.  An important section of the project will be the development  of innovative methods  to achieve and to assess an new understand about the consumer' s mental changes about science , culture, society, in the context of individual and social advanced cognitive  interaction processes. This approach will permits to the research project  to define new conception and progress  beyond of the state of the art  developing new  knowledge in the social and behavioural sciences in a trans-disciplinary integrated method  that will be different of the  standardized  methodology of the  independent disciplines normally utilized during the  industrial society epoch .

Those concepts and research on social and behavioural science methods that are coming from the most recent Research in science and society would be disseminated  within appropriated  verifiable methodology of assessment and evaluation of results.  Finally because the concept "well-being"  depends not only on health, but also on the ability to satisfy the demands imposed by society and the environment, as well as all the other energy-demanding activities that fulfil individual needs.

Taking in consideration the goal of FOOD & WELL BEING the EGOCREANET would like to favour the access of social an behavioural sciences for developing  a better conceptualization of security and quality needs of food production and consumption that calls for a collective action to safeguard the European way of life that combines economic prosperity with solidarity.

The project also would like to put in evidence the different approaches in a convergent view of a  cross-bio-cultural interactions of KBBE  among food, human biology, and the social, cultural, political and economic factors that shape food-related behaviours and nutritional status of populations. Topics include the social role of food, food beliefs and ideology, the political economy of malnutrition, development strategies and food security, and methods in nutritional anthropology research. Readings and discussions on those issues are research focused and approach issues from a variety of theoretical multidisciplinary  perspectives.

These legitimate concerns must be turned into an opportunity to enhance Europe 's world-wide economic competitiveness for implementing KBBE in relation to the topics addressed to the calls.

Therefore is very easy to understand that renewable bio-resources are mostly depending through strengthening and enabling research cooperation among scientists and consumers  in a way to sub stain European model of innovation of  Agriculture - Biotechnology  and Knowledge Society.

For this goal the EGOCREANET would propose to aggregate an "EUROPEAN VIRTUAL CENTRE  on FOOD SCIENCE & CONSUMERS" to produce a continuous progress beyond the state of the art , joining European scientists with consumers.  The main goal of this "EVC"  in the context of FOOD & CONSUMER SCIENCE INNOVATION will be based on  the following issues that are of proprietary relevance in order to reach large audience in European food-consumers and to support the building of Knowledge Based Bio-Economy:

1.                   favouring conscious consumer satisfactions on basic needs of nutrition by means innovative dietary strategies;

2.                   enhancing soundness R&D concepts and information about  quality and safety of foods production "from farm to fork"

3.                   developing consumer's permanent education on functional foods, novel foods, and GMO in a healthy agricultural  environment

4.                   facilitating easy food choices through disseminating innovative labelling methods

5.                   revitalizing food knowledge through advanced nutri-genomics to overcome the inadequate and standardized food intake models.

 

Previous Activities of EGOCREANET ON FOOD & CONSUMERS INNOVATION:
