Short Description:

The main objective of the project is to develop the concept of food ethical traceability as the basis for consumers informed choice. This will on the one hand be done by mapping relevant food ethical issues (philosophically and sociologically) for the consumers, producers and retailers, and on the other by investigating how food ethical issues can be developed and used within foodproducing companies and retailers to assure effective communication strategiesand the informed choice by consumers.
