Food Risk Communication. Perceptions and communication of food risks/benefits across Europe: development of effective communication strategies (FoodRisC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
FoodRisC will characterise key configurations of food risk/benefit relationships and the consequent implications for risk communicators, make recommendations about the unique potential of new social media (e.g. social networks and blogging) and provide a systematic understanding of how consumers deal with food risk/benefit information. The FoodRisC consortium is comprised of experts in key fields ...
