      abstract = {In the agri-food sector, quality and food safety concerns  receive increased attention and have been the focus of  initiatives on various levels of activity, reaching from  enterprises to the sector as a whole on regional, national  and international levels. The initiatives have to integrate  the business management approach of 'quality management'  (QM) with the interests of society and consumers in food  safety and trustworthy safety guarantees. This paper builds  on enterprise level quality management concepts, integrates  food safety concerns and develops a framework for a  sector-encompassing system for quality and food safety  assurance. It relates the framework to present sector  initiatives and develops recommendations for the design and  implementation of a consistent sector assurance system.},
