#FoodSystems #Sustainability #FoodSafety #Education

Transforming Europe's food systems is critical! 🇪🇺 We need safe, competitive, & innovative food solutions to protect 🧑 humans, 🐑 animals, 🌾 plants, & our precious 🏞️ ecosystems. But true success starts in our mindsets & hearts! ❤️

How we educate future professionals is the 🔑 to collective success in transforming our food systems. Today, as Chief Scientist at @efsa.europa.eu , I had a great chat with "our" @Università degli Studi di Parma 🇮🇹 (yes, I'll claim them—we share this wonderful city! 😇).

A great team work putting options ok the table to face future pandemic challenges with….. new and hopefully better solutions!

Together we are stronger 💪

A lively fair, where I was very happy to find also our colleagues from @ec.europa.eu Agriculture and Food with an amazing stand showcasing some examples of safe, sustainable and competitive food products from across all Europe.

If it ain't safe it ain't food! Together we are stronger! 💪

A strong focus on #foodsafety is an essential premise for #sustainable and #competitive #foodsystems, and I am happy that the @efsa.europa.eu works every day to ensure it remains so! Great to witness the fair focused strongly on food safety this year! 🥳

It was amazing to celebrate the #WorldFoodSafetyDay in Portugal, visiting the National Agriculture Fair 2025! @efsa.europa.eu

And a chance to quick chat about #FoodSafety with Portugal's Minister for Agriculture José Manuel Fernandes and with our EU Commissioner @christophehansen.bsky.social

Also a great chance to meet Portugal´s EFSA Team: Focal Point colleagues, Advisory Forum members at ASAE and our two representatives to the Management Board.

Together we are stronger! 💪Luis Lourenço Filipa Melo de Vasconcelos Ana Batalha Susana Pombo

An inspiring day of knowledge-sharing that reinforced how science and collaboration are key to building safer, more resilient food systems for all.
