FoodSafety4Africa: Addressing Food Safety Challenges in the African Informal Sector

FoodSafety4Africa (FS4Africa) is a 48-month Horizon EU-funded project, spanning from 2024 to 2027. Bringing together 16 stakeholders from 10 countries across Africa, Europe, and North America the project aims to improve African food safety systems – with particular attention to the informal sector – through local market transformation enhancing food security and regional trade while reducing negative impacts on the environment, biodiversity, health, and society. The project will focus on use cases that address critical areas such as Sustainable Aflatoxin Management through a Food Convergence Innovation approach, Reduction in the use and misuse of pesticides, Safe and healthy vegetable and fish production through online platform and mobile communication, and Microbiological quality of tomatoes and leafy greens from farm to fork. By advancing preparedness and best practices, FS4Africa aspires to support a safer and more sustainable future for food systems across Africa.
