New FAO report highlights possible benefits and risks associated with tomorrow’s food
Foresight study dives into the potential advantages and concerns around new foods, new technologies and much more
The report -- Thinking about the future of food safety - A foresight report -- maps out some of the most important emerging issues in food and agriculture with a focus on food safety implications, which are increasingly on the minds of consumers around the world. It adopts a foresight approach based on the idea that the roots of how the future may play out are already present today in the form of early signs. Monitoring these signs through the systematic gathering of intelligence increases the likelihood that policy makers will be better prepared to tackle emerging opportunities and challenges.
