Prevention / mitigation of mycotoxin contamination of food / feed by climate change

Closed

Food and feed industries have a need for innovative analytic toxicity prevention strategies (e.g. toxicity alert systems and risk management plans) to produce safer food products for humans and animals. AGRITOX aims to provide the Atlantic Area food and feed industries with information and technical solutions to avoid the contamination by mycotoxins, which is a growing challenge due to the climate change and represent a major concern for human health. Thus, AGRITOX project will develop toxicity alert systems and risk management plans at disposal of the industry. These will facilitate the adoption of safer uses by the companies, namely SMEs, not only for a better and safer cultivation, harvest and storage of human food and animal feed, but also for achieving safer food products for the final consumer, thus covering the whole value chain.
