FQH projects
Research projects, reports and publications from FQH members, covering the topics of food quality and health, can be nominated as FQH research projects or FQH publications, if the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) approves to this.
At this moment one FQH project is running: the project on Organic Milk Quality and Human Health (University of Kassel, Department of biodynamic agriculture). Read more
For FQH publications see the page “Publications” on this website. Until now four FQH publications are available, all from the Louis Bolk Institute, where FQH originated. Read more
