Food Safety Challenges

3. Due to this food safety challenge, the intensification and industrialisation of agriculture and animal production must increase to meet the demands for food.
5. Factors such as an ageing population and increasing migration.
6. A wider variety of food available to consumers. However this means the food chain becomes ________________________________________ spreading foodborne diseases and hazards quicker and easily.
8. Factors such as climate change and extreme weather events. This is also predicted to impact negatively on __________________________.

3. Example of this food safety challenge includes microplastics and microbeads being consumed by fish and re-entering the food chain.
4. People facing this challenge are most exposed to foodborne health risks due to lack of funding and awareness of key food safety points.
7. This food safety challenge can be seen in countries where the water used in production may be unsafe for consumption or use of agricultural chemicals is poorly regulated and enforced.
