Jointly organized by CIRANO and NSF International in collaboration with the Conseil de la transformation alimentaire du Québec (CTAQ), this conference also provided a forum for several of CIRANO’s researchers to present their current work. JoAnne Labrecque (HEC Montreal) presented her results on the disruptions eCommerce has brought to the food industry and Ingrid Peignier (CIRANO) talked about some initial results from a study of the value of food certification. |
