Project description: The security and safety of the global food supply is a top concern. While recent events, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the energy crisis, highlighted the need for robust measures, the agricultural and food industries face another challenge. They are significantly vulnerable to contamination by biotoxins produced by plants, algae, and fungi. The unpredictable nature of these toxic metabolites is exacerbated by global warming and extreme weather events. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the BIOTOXDoc project will launch a doctoral training programme to equip future experts to tackle biotoxin control, mitigation, and risk assessment. The training will encompass the development of early warning systems, on-site testing, detoxification strategies, and toxicity assessments of co-occurring biotoxins.
