Description
This
AFRI Challenge Area promotes and enhances the scientific discipline of food safety,
with an overall aim of protecting consumers from microbial and chemical
contaminants that may occur during all stages of the food chain, from
production to consumption. This requires an understanding of the
interdependencies of human, animal, and ecosystem health as it pertains to
foodborne pathogens. The long-term outcome for this program is to support the
development and deployment of science based knowledge to improve the safety and
nutritional quality of food without sacrificing flavor, acceptability, and
affordability.
