Goretti Guasch presented the new INC goals and main activities the INC will carry out within the Strategic Plan of Actions. INC Report of Activities By Goretti Guasch, INC Executive Director NEW GOALS The new INC Goals include the development of strategic actions to deal with: • Environmental sustainability initiatives associated with social behaviour and a healthy product image perceived by consumers. This goal defined under Sustainability, involves to carry over Sustainability actions to develop a Guidance on Good Facts on sustainable production to assess and improve the environmental impact and profile on nuts and dried fruits, to gain competitive advantage. • Nuts and Gastronomy, emphasizing the importance of the use of nuts and dried fruits in the kitchen of the best restaurants worldwide. Under Gastronomy is meant to develop actions to emphasize tree nuts are tasty, natural, flavored, a delightful food and fat free. The project involves the creation of an INC Guide Book, like the Michelin Guide book, but with nut stars, to give it to those restaurants using nuts and dried fruits in their recipes. • Nuts and Sports, to promote the healthy properties of nuts into the sports field. This is an important potential area that would recognize the industry as the supplier of the healthy energy food that helps them become better and healthier players. • School Programs to promote the consumption of nuts and dried fruits among children, by actively participating in School Fruit Scheme Programs and have nuts included under the same category of fruits & vegetables. NEW ACTIVITIES 11th EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF NUTRITION Continued research is vital for our industry and the INC keeps the commitment to promote scientific studies, education and dissemination. With this in mind, the INC will take part in the European Congress of Nutrition from 24 to 29 October 2011, in Madrid, where over 2000 scientists, health professionals and researchers from over 76 countries will learn about the latest findings and developments in the fields of health and nutrition. The INC session will take place on Friday 28th of October and it will include keynote researchers from Europe, USA and Canada in the field of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes. We believe that this will be a great opportunity to spread the health benefits of nuts to the largest group of health influencers, researchers and specialized media. NEW: INC PAVILION AT SIAL PARIS 2012 Given the success of INC’s participation in international food & trade exhibitions and due to the demand of the industry to exhibit under a common umbrella, the INC will provide a meeting area for the INC members for those wishing to participate in the main food exhibitions. The first edition will take place in the SIAL exhibition in October 2012, where the INC pavilion will consist on individual booths, for which will provide meeting facilities, catering and storage service and transportation to the exhibition. Our objective is to be the reference for the Industry and its Meeting point at the most relevant international exhibitions. INC HOME The new headquarters will be strategically located on a 4,500 sq meters site in a new Technology Park, located next to the city airport.
