Ensuring food safety and compliance–from farm to table
To feed a world population that is estimated to grow to 10 billion by 2050, we need to ensure sustainable and safe food production systems. According to the WHO, “Governments should make food safety a public health priority, as they play a pivotal role in developing policies and regulatory frameworks and establishing and implementing effective food safety systems.”
Supply chain transparency: Reducing food loss and waste
In a world where up to 800 million people are chronically undernourished roughly one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted across the entire supply chain every year. To minimize food waste, it’s important to understand not only why it occurs, but also where in the supply chain it occurs.
Identifying and responding to food safety issues
The US’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that roughly 48 million Americans get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases—every year. Foodborne illness breakouts are obviously an important public health issue, but they also represent one of the greatest financial risks that food and beverage companies face.
