Practice Abstracts

FoodLAND is preparing an extensive set of Practice Abstracts, which comprise innovative knowledge acquired during the project, and are very easily accessible end-user material. These abstracts describe the main information and/or recommendations and/or practices that can serve the end-users in their daily practice.

*NOTE: The reported technological innovations are currently under a validation process, and will be made public once their receive approval from the EC.
