Phase I Final Report June 25, 2019 – June 24, 2024: Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety

This report presents progress over the first five-year phase of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety (June 25, 2019 – June 24, 2024). The Food Safety Innovation Lab (FSIL), managed by Purdue and Cornell Universities, has leveraged global food safety expertise in locally-led projects that address the root causes of foodborne illness. Phase I FSIL projects were designed to create systemic change to strengthen household and community nutrition, food security, and economic opportunity by identifying food safety knowledge gaps, supporting data-driven food safety practices and policies, and strengthening local food safety capacity.

Project activities focused on four objectives:

1. increasing awareness of food safety across value chains;

2. enhancing capacity to conduct food safety research;

3. developing policies that enable conditions for food safety research, translation, and practice; and

4. accelerating translational research technologies and practices for households, communities, and the food industry
