Food quality and safety in an open world market are today a topical concern.

Furthermore, the food crises experienced in a consecutive sequence in Europe and the world these last years (ESB, dioxins, hormones, GMO…) have led to the tightening of food security regulations.

These new requirements with regard to the quality of agricultural and food products are currently a major source of commercial and regulation litigations, which can lead to serious financial repercussions for companies operating in this sector.

In addition to this, high sensitisation of consumers and hyper-reactivity of media towards food security require all the actors in agricultural and food businesses to anticipate and be prepared to respond to this media risk (crisis management).
