How can we mitigate the risks of foodborne pathogen transmission and environmental contaminants through the food chain, encompassing a 'One Health' approach?
Background
Question Group: Working with nature to improve plant, animal and soil health, enhancing agricultural practices, and promoting resilient food systems. It also encompasses innovation in disease control, climate adaptation for crops and stock, strengthening food safety and sustainable farming to reduce environmental pollution and boost productivity.
Sub-questions: -How can we reduce the risk of pathogen survival and transmission through the food chain?
-What is the role of a 'One Health' approach for the food system?
-What role should there be for emerging methods to detect sources of infection?
-What role does agri/food sector play in transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)?
-How can we reduce input/spread of AMR in the food system in Scotland?
-How should we respond to current and future foodborne zoonoses, including E.coli (STEC)?
