CHAIRPERSON’S FOREWORD Food Research Ireland clearly outlines the research needs of industry, academia, consumers and regulatory authorities and represents the significant efforts of the industry-led Food Research Expert Advisory Group. This is the first time that all stakeholders within the food research and innovation system in Ireland have come together and jointly agreed their research needs to 2020. It has been a long but worthwhile journey and I would like to thank the members of the Group for all their hard work over the last 18 months in bringing this research plan to fruition. I believe that the plan will ensure that the research funded in the future through State funded research programmes will deliver outputs that will ensure growth of the food industry in line with the targets in Food Harvest 2020 and relevant priorities in the report of the National Research Prioritisation Exercise. Dan Browne, Chairperson Food Research Ireland ▼ 2
