European Union:Revisiting EFSA@EXPO: Emerging Issues in Animal and Plant Health

摘要

The risk from emerging pests and pathogens has increased as a consequence of global changes to the way food is produced and consumed. In addition, climate change is likely to increase pressure on the availability of food. It will also provide newly suitable conditions for invasive species, pests and pathogens. Population displacement due to economic, political and humanitarian crises represents another potential driver for emerging issues. This European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) session looked atthe cultural and methodological shifts we must make if we are to deal with emerging risks.
