FOOD SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS

Rapid urbanization has resulted in the globalization of the food trade and has transformed our food systems. Especially in the agribusiness and food industry that employ food quality and safety management systems, there is ongoing pressure to deal with such factors as global trade, competitive markets, increasing safety and quality requirements, demographic changes, climate change, and more. This necessitates the need to prioritize food safety and sustainable food systems and find sustainable means to grow, produce and consume safe and healthy foods while preserving the environment.

This entails developing and streamlining food safety and food quality infrastructure, e.g., improving and upgrading food safety management systems and quality management systems that are based on assurance guidelines and standards (like HACCP, ISO 22000, BRC, etc.) and restructuring food providing systems and the food supply chain by applying new tools and technologies to increase efficiencies, provide resiliency, transparency and integration.
