Abstract
A delegation from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering traveled to Beijing in April 2016 to jointly run a workshop on technology advances in food safety with the Chinese Academy of Engineering. This brief summary from the Australian delegation identifies the pyramid of inter- locking issues which must be addressed to deliver food safety. Systems and technology provide the necessary base, on which culture and then trust can be built to facilitate the delivery of food safety now and in the future.
Highlights
A workshop was jointly run in Beijing in April 2016 by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) on technology advances in food safety
We identified a pyramid of interlocking issues – systems and technology are essential
While systems and technology are the tools by which food safety standards can manage food safety, the best systems and technology will fail if the workforce culture is not orientated toward producing safe food 24 h per day, 365 days per year
Summary
A workshop was jointly run in Beijing in April 2016 by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) on technology advances in food safety. This brief article gives a summary report from the Australian delegation. We agreed that we live in a world with: increasing population and urbanization, changing agricultural practices and climate, increasing technological intervention in food production, increasing volume and diversity of trade in food, changing requirements for food preparation, increasing numbers of socially connected consumers, and increasing demand for safe food. We identified a pyramid of interlocking issues – systems and technology are essential
