FY2023 Annual Report Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety
In FY2023, the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety (FSIL) subaward projects in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, and Senegal made significant progress in data collection to better understand microbial food safety challenges in each focus country, analyze the roles and opportunities for women in food safety and in different food value chains, and identify appropriate food safety interventions. All projects entered their final year of activities (year three for long-term subawards in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, and Senegal and year two for short-term subawards in Nepal and Nigeria) and many have started to analyze data and disseminate results. In FY2023, FSIL subaward projects published nine peer-reviewed journal articles, gave seven conference presentations, and hosted workshops and training sessions for producers, extension agents, government stakeholders, and the private sector.
