TRACE PROYECT UNION

Traceability is essential to give information on origin, processing, retailing and final destination of food. The EU TRACE Project aims to provide systems that can not only trace food but are also capable of confirming its origin. In this sense, EU TRACE Project is aiming to correlate geographical-geological characteristics with those of locally grown food in order to be able to confirm the origin of food. Five regions of Argentina, representing major productions zones of different agricultural commodities, were sampled. Beef, cereal, olive oil, soil, and water samples were obtained from the provinces of San Juan, Entre Ríos, Mendoza, Buenos Aires and Córdoba
