Webinar Series: Linking Food Safety with Health and Nutrition - Insights and Priorities

This webinar was held on February 24, 2021 by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety.
Event Description: The World Health Organization estimates that, each year, consumption of contaminated food causes one in ten people to fall ill. In addition to causing acute disease and death, foodborne illnesses can result in long-term health consequences and have a higher impact on vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, children, the sick, and the elderly. The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety leverages research and expertise in food safety, food production, nutrition, and international development to identify and mitigate the root causes of foodborne illness within food systems. The panelists in the third installment in our webinar series shared their insights and answered questions on food safety and breaking cycles of disease and malnutrition.
