Tristram, who is presenting a major television series in September on minimising food waste, will join a line-up of nine other industry experts to speak at the conference, entitled ‘Fifth quarter: Go green for more profit’.

The conference will take place at the Ramada Warwick hotel, on 8 September 2010.

Jean-Pierre Garnier, Head of Exports for EBLEX and BPEX said: "This conference aims to encompass the whole meat supply chain from farm to fork, and we are looking forward to getting Tristram Stuart’s input into the debate.

"The use of offal and fifth quarter products is a highly topical issue and of great economic relevance to the UK meat sector. This conference offers a unique opportunity to move the issue forward."

The conference is aimed at abattoir operators, by- and co-product processors and those in allied industries. Attendance is free for meat industry representatives. For further details and to register email [email protected]
