The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has published the summary report of the Food Safety Foresight Framework Meeting, which took place from April 1 to 3, 2025 at FAO headquarters in Rome.
Sixteen experts from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania participated in the meeting, from governments, the private sector, international organisations, universities and research institutes, as well as two colleagues from the UN World Food Programme.
The summary report includes the executive summary of the document agreed during the meeting and key lessons learned shared by participants, including the benefits and challenges of implementing food safety foresight in practice.
The meeting focused on providing feedback on the background document, sparking valuable discussions. Key topics included the challenge of classifying foresight approaches across different timescales and the importance of distinguishing between reactive and proactive strategies. Experts discussed and agreed on essential elements of a food safety foresight approach, which is a core part of the document. These elements include multi-stakeholder engagement and communication, a structured yet flexible approach with clear objectives, and human-centred information gathering combined with the integration of digital tools.
