42. SAP BIG DATA DNA INITIATIVE :
 The Institute of Corporate Responsibility and
Sustainability (ICRS) is now in operation as the UK's first
professional body for people working in sustainability
and corporate responsibility (CR).
 "Anywhere between 20 and 40 per cent of all sea food,
you think you're eating one thing, and in fact you're
actually eating something different."

43. BIG DATA VS CROWD SOURCING:
 A 2012 Oceana report found that 39 per cent of 142 seafood
samples taken from various New York eateries and stores were
fraudulent. It happens in London and Paris as well. And when
you're paying £20 and up for a sea bass, you really do expect to
see the correct species on your plate.
 Big data could give brands much-needed clarity on this issue
though. The International Barcode of Life project aims to build
a worldwide database of DNA.
Through the Life Scanner mobile app everyday Smartphone
users and nature enthusiasts can collect DNA from a species
and send off the sample to a laboratory for testing, through the
SAP University Alliances initiative.

44.  The 2013 "Horsegate" scandal shook consumer confidence in
Tesco, ASDA and other UK supermarkets due to the discovery
of horsemeat in beef products. In May, British confectioner
Cadbury found itself in the spotlight when its products tested
positive for pork traces in Malaysia, upsetting the country's
Muslim population.
The technology also allows brands to identify cases of
overfishing, and enforce sanctions that remove the banned
species from their supply chains
