BEYOND CERTIFICATION TO QUALITY – THE NEW PARADIGM?

 Certification Standards have been useful tools for the Aquaculture Industry. They have provided a roadmap for all participants to create a level of quality that is acceptable to global markets. Has the time come to move away from certification to a quality  centred culture? Is the industry ready for the next stage in this evolution?

 In this presentation we will explore certification within the Aquaculture industry,  in particular reference

 to Canada and ask what next?  What is the driver for food  safety, that ensures the industry spends millions each year on this service.

We will step outside the current compliance framework and challenge whether compliance is enough. If everyone is compliance to a standard, what is left to differentiate a supplier?

We hope you enjoy our vision for the 2020’s and how we see the journey developing for the industry, in an interactive, light-hearted review of certification and the future.
