Horecava
The Horecava is a Dutch annual hospitality trade fair held in Amsterdam since 1957. It is the largest hospitality fair in the Netherlands. It hosts the annual Dutch national championship hospitality since 2007. History The initiative for a national hospitality exhibition was taken in 1953 by Gerrit Staalman, who pleaded for such an exhibition in hospitality magazine Misset Horeca, for which he was an advisor. In 1957 a first exhibition is held, organised by the Dutch Trade fair organisation. From 1959 the exposition is held in the Rai building. The fair has since then grown to the point where only those who are professionally active in hospitality are allowed as visitors in 1995. From this year on, large brewers, coffee producers, and large kitchen exposers decide to attend the fair only bi-annually, on even years, on what is known as a "wet" Horecava, odd years being called "dry". Since 2008 Horecava tries to slowly abolish the distinction. Exhibitions The Horecava has several ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sustainability
Specific definitions of sustainability are difficult to agree on and have varied in the literature and over time. The concept of sustainability can be used to guide decisions at the global, national, and individual levels (e.g. sustainable living). Sustainability is commonly described as having three dimensions (also called pillars): environmental, economic, and social. Many publications state that the environmental dimension (also called "planetary integrity" or "ecological integrity") is the most important, and, in everyday usage, "sustainability" is often focused on countering major environmental problems, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services, land degradation, and air and water pollution. Humanity is now exceeding several "planetary boundaries". A closely related concept is that of sustainable development, and the terms are often used synonymously. However, UNESCO distinguishes the two thus: "''Sustainability'' is often thought of as a lon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marine Stewardship Council
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a non-profit organization which aims to set standards for sustainable fishing. Fisheries that wish to demonstrate they are well-managed and sustainable compared to the MSC's standards are assessed by a team of Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs). The mission of the MSC is to use its ecolabel, for which the MSC receives royalties for licensing it to products, and fishery certification program to recognise and reward sustainable fishing practices. The MSC has faced criticism in the past, mainly centering on its close ties to the fishing industry and conflict of interest stemming from royalties received by the industry for its certification label. Contribution to changes in the oceans When buyers choose MSC-certified fish, well-managed fisheries are rewarded for sustainable practices. In turn, the growing market for certified sustainable seafood generates a powerful incentive for other fisheries to demonstrate they are fishing sustainabl ...
