Policy positions

Like all other industries, the cultures industry is confronted with problems of a general nature such as relations with their clients or with public authorities or with the evolution of scientific knowledge. It is thus led to elaborate and adopt policies endorsed by all its members.

Several such policies are now being prepared and will be put on the site after adoption by the General Assembly.

Positions limited to production matters are included in the page " About cultures ".

• Questions and Answers for 'QPS' and its Implications for food cultures.
