19/07/2013: FEFANA welcomes its first associate member; Russian grains unaffected by foot and mouth; entomophagy in 2050

FEFANA has welcomed Calpis Co., Ltd, a Japanese company producing beverages and probiotics for human and animal use as its first associate member. 

Caplpis Co's., products are regularly exported and distributed in the European market. Didier Jans, Fefana secretary general commented, "We warmly welcome Calpis as our first associate member. Yhis is certainly a sign of how complex the global market is and the need for companies outside Europe to get closer to those working within the European fodd and feed law framework."

Russia’s food safety organisation has announced there is no threat to the country's grain following outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in the cereal-growing south.

Russia detected two incidents of foot and mouth in the North Caucasus area and one in the Krasnodar region according to the agency, known as Rosselkhoznadzor.

A new report by the FAO has been issued as researchers and governments continue plans to feed the world by 2050. Estimates indicate food production will need to double in order to keep up with demand. One of the biggest challenges future food producers face is the search for sustainable protein sources. 

The idea of eating insects may rapidly become a reality. Farming insects requires significantly less water, waste, and space than most of the current meat sources. Insects are also high in nutrients and rich in protein.
