Main contributions:
The Agricultural Health, Safety and Agrifood Quality program seeks to contribute to:
- Promote the technical and institutional strengthening of agricultural health and food safety systems (AHFS);
- Harmonize, update and implement science-based health, safety and quality standards; and
- Develop capacities to adopt good practices and address emerging issues.
Within this framework, the digitalization of AHFS (sanitary intelligence, use of digital technologies to promote a culture of safety and prevent pests and diseases, electronic certification), science as a basis for decision-making and the "One Health" concept are priority areas of the program.
