Iterg’s mission consists in implementing research and promotional initiatives in the field of fats and oils.
Fats and oils are staple goods and as such their manufacture and sale are subject to legal, institutional and scientific regulations defined by various French legislative bodies, monitoring organisations (DGCCRF and Afssa) and research organisations (INRA, INSERM, Cemagref, Cirad, Universities, etc.).
This complex environment, where high economic stakes force companies to factor the scientific, technological and legal aspects of their products into their business, provides the backdrop for Iterg’s intervention at the crossroads between research and knowledge transfer on the one hand and the public and private industrial sectors on the other.
