This book helps in Achieving food safety success which requires going beyond traditional training testing & inspectional approaches to managing risks It requires a better understanding of the human

Dimensions of food safety In the field of food safety today much is documented about specific microbes timetemperature processes post-process contamination & HACCP-things often called the hard sciences There is not much published or discussed related to human behavior-often referred to as the soft stuff However looking at foodborne disease trends over the past few decades & published regulatory out-of-compliance rates of food safety risk factors it's clear that the soft stuff is still the hard stuff Despite the fact that thousands of employees have been trained in food safety around the world millions have been spent globally on food safety research & countless inspections & tests have been performed at home & abroad food safety remains a significant public health challenge Why is that? Because to improve food safety we must realize that it's more than just food science; it's the behavioral sciences too In fact simply put food safety equals behavior This is the fundamental principle of this book If you are trying to improve the food safety performance of a retail or food service establishment an organization with thousands of employees or a local community what you are really trying to do is change people's behavior The ability to influence human behavior is well documented in the behavioral & social sciences However significant contributions to the scientific literature in the field of food safety are noticeably absent This book will help advance the science by being the first significant collection of 50 proven behavioral science techniques & be the first to show how these techniques can be applied to enhance employee compliance with desired food safety behaviors & make food safety the social norm in any organization

This volume explores the complex relationship between food security & sociopolitical stability up to roughly 2025 Organized around a series of original essays by leading global technical experts a key message of this volume is that actions taken in an effort to address food security stressors may have consequences for food security stability or both that ultimately matter far more than the direct impacts of biophysical drivers such as climate or land or water scarcity The means by which governments firms & private philanthropies tackle the food security challenge of the coming decade will fundamentally shape the relationship between food security & sociopolitical stability ...
