Master in Human Development, Food Security and Sustainability

Last 7th June was the Food Safety Day

🥕Food safety is a fundamental aspect of food security.

🚩According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), nearly one in 10 people in the world gets sick each year from eating contaminated food. The problem affects all countries.
