IFR has developed Bayesian Belief Networks to model complex food safety situations along with web-based tools to deliver the models via the Internet. At IFR we are developing new information handling techniques and sophisticated communication tools to help people to appreciate and understand the complex situations that are involved with food safety on the farm, at the factory, in the supermarket and at home in the kitchen.

Istituto Sperimentale per la Frutticoltura (ISF). The Fruit Tree Research Institute is one of the twenty three Institutes of the Ministero per le Politiche Agricole (Ministry for Policy in Agriculture) MiPA, formerly Ministry of Agriculture. The objectives of the Institute are the improvement of the fruit qualities, agronomic techniques, increasing of vegetative multiplication ability of superior genotypes, understanding the correlation between environment and phenotype, conservation of genetic resources. Three of the seven Departments are located at Trento, Forli' and Caserta where studies and experiments on the species grown under the specific climatic conditions of those areas are carried out.

Founded in 1939, the Institute of Food Technologists is a nonprofit scientific society with 22,000 members working in food science, food technology, and related professions in industry, academia and government. IFT publishes various resources for the food industry, including Food Technology and the Journal of Food Science . IFT also conducts the world's largest annual convention on food grown, processed, manufactured, distributed and eaten worldwide, the IFT FOOD EXPO.

ISAA is a network of 4 post-graduate engineering and veterinary "Grandes Ecoles" (ENGREF, ENSIA, INA P-G, ENVA) on food processing and human nutrition; it was the first regional pole created in 1981 under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Rural Affairs, as an economic interest group. ISAA basic missions are: Initial education, Continuing education, Research oriented education. To education can be added the ISAA network capacity, in terms of expertise and scientific and technological research which lead to industrial partnerships.

The Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA) is a research centre belonging to the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), autonomous body of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology. IATA objectives are basic scientific research and oriented scientific research in the Food Science and Food Technology area. These objectives are supplemented with activities of technological support to the industry and scientific and technical education.

The Institute of Food Research (IFR) undertake independent science for food and health. Research at the Institute of Food Research stimulates industrial innovation, improves the safety of the food supply, helps consumers choose a healthy diet and contributes to the quality of food and ingredients.

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) works at the crossroads of livestock and poverty, bringing high-quality science and capacity-building to bear on poverty reduction and sustainable development for poor livestock keepers and their communities. ILRI works in the tropical developing regions of Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean, with offices in East and West Africa, South and South-East Asia, China and Central America, and projects in southern Africa, North Africa and the Middle East.
