Successful conference - new approach

The IDTechEx conference Food Traceability in Dallas February 1-2 was a great success with attendance from 13 countries. The masterclasses before and after the conference were much appreciated. There was a consensus that track, trace and identify are merging as both sciences and needs. Requirements and executions before and after the farm gate are also becoming seamless. These barriers are rapidly breaking down. New sources of data such as RFID, 2D barcodes and widespread DNA analysis are creating a challenge in the sheer volume of data generated. Voluntary national traceability schemes such as Can-Trace in Canada are extremely difficult to get under way and legal push is far more effective plus mandates from those in power such as the large retailers in the USA who now demand a move to RFID on all incoming pallets and cases. The proceedings of this uniquely comprehensive conference, which fielded top level speakers from eleven countries, can be purchased on www.trackingfood.com
