To maintain healthy living, we need to eat nutritious but also safe food. Food safety is therefor an integral part of food security and is a responsibility for all stakeholders in the food supply chain, from farmers to retailers.

Farmers will have to adapt to these conditions by adopting intervention strategies or even to transition tot a new farming system.
