FARNHub (Food Authenticity Research Network Hub)
One of the objectives of the Authent-Net project is to establish a dynamic and sustainable European
information platform, named the "Food Authenticity Research Network Hub (FARNHub)".
This platform is a web-based portal where users can get an overview of currently available resources
related to food authenticity.
This includes papers and documents (scientific or other), ongoing projects, online databases, an overview
of funding bodies with contact points, news stories, analytical methods and regulations on food
authenticity.
Analytical methods are addressed by the Food Integrity project (WP2) through the Food Integrity Knowledge
Base
The FARNHub application is now available on online on http://farnhub.authent.cra.wallonie.be/ for search and view content. By giving
open access to this web tool, all possible users who have an interest in food authenticity (funding
bodies, industries, regulatory authorities, research organisations and other stakeholders) can benefit
from the hub and its content.
A map available on http://www.authent-net.eu/AN_FARNH_click_map.html gives statistics on the number
of publications, projects, news, … and includes links to the 14 National status reports and 4
commodity status reports developed by groups of experts from the resources stored in the FARNHub
tool.
Any update, adding can be suggested and provided to email farnhub@cra.wallonie.be
A network of national representatives involved in the Authent-Net project has been created to approve new
entries and update the database.
