Food & Health Network Brief

Welcome to F&HN Brief. In this issue we report on the recent knowledge sharing day and the launch of the new cluster.

Knowledge Sharing Day

Members able to attend this event on 23 June found it very informative. A brief summary is available at: www.foodandhealthnetwork.com/23junesummary.html. The agenda for the day, and copies of the presentations are available on the members' section of the web site at: www.foodandhealthnetwork.com/fhnmembers/23june.html
