3 Part Series – Leading the Charge for Food Safety Capacity Building: Four Global Initiatives – Part Two

By Yves Rey

Yves Rey is the former chairman of the GFSI Board and Corporate Quality General Manager at Groupe Danone and GFSR is pleased to bring his insights and observations on capacity building to our readers in this three-part series. Part One appeared last month.

Part Two: Global Food Safety Partnership (GFSP) and Safe and Secure Approaches in Field Environments (SSAFE)

Global Food Safety Partnership (GFSP)
Despite the myriad resources and initiatives that exist, we continue to see a lack of well-coordinated approaches to building food safety capacity, optimizing resources and scaling-up innovative and locally driven solutions in developing and middle-income countries.

And it has become clear that no single government agency, private sector entity or consumer association alone can effectively ensure food safety in an increasingly globalized food supply chain.
