Event type: Online

Join Food Nation’s Global Food Talk in the aftermath of UN’s World Food Day on October 26th from 14.00-15.15 PM (Copenhagen, GMT +2) and meet a distinguished climate minister, an eminent international UN-director, CEOs and high-level profiles, businesses and organizations.

Imagine a world where food production actively heals the planet. While the path is challenging – with agriculture currently contributing to a third of global greenhouse gas emissions – we believe in the possibility of change. To honor the Paris Agreement our global food production needs a transition. Here, knowledge sharing, dialogue and collaboration across international borders is vital in achieving real change.

Along the issue of climate change, the world’s population is projected to reach 10 billion in 2050. One of our biggest challenges will be to feed everyone with safe and nutritious food – food that is produced in a responsible and truly sustainable way.

With the UN World Food Day as a reference point, we invite you to join us on October 26th. Prepare to be enlightened and inspired as we seek to find answers on how to achieve real change while scaling up our global food production for a future with even more mouths to feed. Join us in our virtual universe, as we hear from the most prominent voices in the agri-food system.

The main question for the dialogue is: How do we secure reliable and sustainable agri-food systems, while minimizing climate impact?

Vær med, når Codex Alimentarius’ verdensomspændende World Food Safety Day for femte gang markeres. Vi ses online onsdag den 7. juni klokken 10-12 med Landbrug & Fødevarer og Food Nation som værter. Vi stiller skarpt på, hvordan samarbejde og risikoopfattelse er centrale fundamenter for arbejdet med fødevaresikkerhed, og zoomer ind på håndtering af kemiske forureninger.

Danske fødevarer er kendt i hele verden for høj fødevarekvalitet og -sikkerhed. Det skyldes ikke mindst det stærke samarbejde mellem forskning, virksomheder, myndigheder og Landbrug & Fødevarer, som giver danske fødevarevirksomheder en unik mulighed for løbende at vurdere, teste og innovere deres produkter og løsninger.

Fødevaresektoren er i hastig udvikling, og som en del af komplekse globale værdikæder præget af konstant forandring og usikkerhed, er det nødvendigt at have opmærksomhed på de risici, der findes på tværs af forsyningskæderne. Derfor er det vigtigt hele tiden at følge de globale fødevaresikkerhedsstandarder. Det gælder også i forhold til kemiske forureninger i fødevarer, hvor rammerne for at mindske forekomsten skal være på plads.

Tilmed dig World Food Safety 2023, og få indsigt i de nyeste erfaringer inden for samarbejde, risikoopfattelse og fødevaresikkerhed ved kemiske forureninger.

Send en mail med navn, titel og virksomhed på mail fvf@lf.dk “World Food Safety Day” senest tirsdag d. 30. maj. Du er velkommen til at indsende input og spørgsmål ved tilmelding. Du modtager et link til eventet tirsdag d. 6. juni.
