Uprise Food Safety Project

✅ Fruitful review meeting of #HorizonEU #UPRISE project on ##FoodSafety 🌾 in #Africa 🌍
💯 We reflected on our progress, shared deliverables & discussed next steps
👏🏾 👏🏻 A big thank you to our partners, the EC and project monitors for their valuable feedback and support!

Food is life.
Food is land.
Food is roots.
Food is memory.
Food is a right, not a privilege.

On this #WorldFoodDay, as we mark #FAO80, let's all walk together #HandinHand.

Honour our roots and cultivate innovation. Harvest a better future for all.

Climate change impacts leading to increased exposure to harmful toxins Rising temperatures due to climate change are increasing the risk of human exposure to so-called mycotoxins, naturally occurring toxins produced by fungi found in certain foods, feed and crops accordi...

📘The new briefing highlights how a more coordinated European approach can help tackle the spread and prevent contamination:

www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/...

A warmer & more humid climate across European regions is promoting an increased risk of human exposure to mycotoxins, which are naturally occurring toxins from fungi.
They are linked to multiple negative health effects e.g. disruption of the endocrine system & affecting the central nervous system.
