What measures can developing countries take and what approaches should stakeholders focus on to upgrade their food safety system?

Food safety is a growing global health concern. However, in developing countries, it usually receives minimal policy attention and investment and only tends to capture national attention during foodborne disease outbreaks and other crises. Furthermore, the lack of economic and technical resources make it challenging for developing countries to adopt a sound food safety system. The economic costs of unsafe food are high – especially in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which have the highest incidence of foodborne diseases. Unsafe food also undermines food security, human development and international trade. What measures can developing countries then take to upgrade their food safety system? What approaches should stakeholders in the food value chain focus on to avoid the burden of unsafe food?Join us at the FIA Lunch Series session, held in collaboration with World Bank Group, as we discuss some of the food safety issues in the Low and Middle-Income Countries and how multi-sectoral collaborations can address these issues.For more information, please visit the website <a href="http://foodindustry.asia/fia-worldbankfialunchseries-acceleratingfoodsafetymodernisationindevelopingcountries-19feb19" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
