• to disseminate to as wide an audience as possible, the breadth and depth of FSA-funded research over the past five years (i.e. since the Agency�s inception) in the areas of mycotoxins, nitrate and process contaminants
• to seek stakeholders' views on the current programmes
• to secure stakeholders ideas and views as to where FSA-funded research in these areas should be (re)directed in the medium term (next five years)
