Session 1 Fostering Food Safety Culture: The Key to Safe Food for Everyone
It is everyone’s responsibility to foster, support and strengthen food safety culture on farms, in food production facilities, at retail stores, and in homes. We will not make dramatic improvements in reducing foodborne illness outbreaks or recalls without doing more to influence the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of people and actions of organizations. A positive food safety culture is a prerequisite to effective food safety management.
This panel of distinguished speakers will share insights and proven examples on how to elevate food safety culture within their organization: food retailer, food service, food production and on farm. Information and practices on leveraging food safety culture assessment tool will also be discussed.
Audiences will gain insights and best practices on how they can become a champion to advance food safety culture within their companies.

Plenary Speeches and Panel Discussion
Session 2 Smart Technologies & Innovations
From some years now the agri-food business has been facing its biggest challenges, namely, from turmoil in domestic and international markets, intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic to shift in consumer preferences, and to technology-enabled improvements.
For governments, the increase in medical expenses related to food borne diseases and the negative impact of the agri-food business on climate change have consequently entailed them tightening food regulation constraints while new products and production methods driven by new technologies should entail them setting up a new adapted and globally harmonized regulatory framework.
Today’s consumers are intensively concerned about the relationship between their diets and their health and the planet as well, highly connected, they are increasingly empowered by technologies. Can Smart Technologies and Innovations provide appropriate and adequate solutions to be used for enhanced food safety and nutrition management for the greater good of the food industry and ultimately consumers.
