food industry and logistics go 2gether well
Posted by Céline on juillet 6th, 2007
In Western France, companies involved in food industries know how to work together. I know some of them that take part in a cluster called WEST. It stands for Well Eating Sustainable Territory and it is a fully active network of partners (farmers, companies, graduates and scientists) who are trying to catalyze and accelerate the development of projects and become a European reference and provider of technological transfer and services for new markets.
Besides a weekly newsletter, the cluster also works on 5 specific subjects, including one on logistics:
o New cultural modes, ways of breeding and fishing,
o Automation, Robotizing, Packaging and Logistics,
o Nutrition-Health, « Well-Eating »,
o Development of biomass, co-products and waste products,
o Techniques of traceability and Precautionary principle.
It just launched a new website :
