Remember #informalmarkets matter on #WorldFoodSafetyDay. They offer cheap, nutritious, accessible food - up to 95% of the food eaten in #subSaharanAfrica. By 2040 they will still provide up to 70% of food www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 @A4NH_CGIAR
#Milk #meat and #fish are the main income of one billion poor farmers, who can often only sell at #wetmarkets. Safe food production allows wider market access, improving sustainability and economic development #WorldFoodSafetyDay #A4NHResearch www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 @A4NH_CGIAR
Many poor communities rely on #milk #meat and #fish for essential protein and micronutrients. But with 2/3 of food-borne diseases caused by pathogens in these foods, there can be no #foodsecurity without #foodsafety. #WorldFoodSafetyDay www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 @A4NH_CGIAR
It’s #WorldFoodSafetyDay. Each year over 600 million people fall ill from contaminated food, 420,000 die, and USD 95 billion of productivity is lost from low to middle-income economies. #Foodsafety matters www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 @A4NH_CGIAR #A4NHResearch
It's #WorldFoodSafetyDay. #Foodsafety needs the #OneHealth approach. #Zoonotic pathogens pass from animals to humans via contact, food, water, or the environment, affecting #publichealth and economic wellbeing. @A4NH_CGIAR www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 #A4NHResearch
It’s #WorldFoodSafetyDay. @ILRI experts support the @_AfricanUnion to develop evidence for the African Food Safety Index, which helps governments prioritize #foodsafety investments, improve safe food trade, and reduce foodborne illnesses www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020 @A4NH_CGIAR

Why do informal markets matter? On World Food Safety Day today, remember that traditional or ‘informal’ markets sell up to 85 to 95% of the food eaten in sub-Saharan Africa. For poorer consumers, they offer cheap, fresh, and nutritious food within walking distance. By 2040 they will still provide 50 to 70% of food. Read more at www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020
It’s World Food Safety Day 2020. Enforcing higher food safety production standards without understanding the informal market can prevent small farmers and women earning income. Milk, meat and fish are the main source of income for one billion poor farmers, and often the only places they can sell their products are wet markets and street stalls.

On World Food Safety Day 2020, remember that the most nutritious foods can also be the most dangerous. Many of the world’s poor rely on milk, meat and fish for essential protein and micronutrients, and demand will increase eight-fold over the next 30 years. But pathogens in these foods are responsible for 2/3 of food-borne diseases. There can be no food security without food safety. Read more at www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020
It’s World Food Safety Day 2020. Measures like the African Food Safety Index are supported by the African Union and ILRI experts, to help governments to prioritize investments in food safety, reduce the burden of foodborne illnesses and enhance safe trade of food. Safe food production enables market access and productivity. This improves sustainability and drives economic development and poverty alleviation, especially in rural areas.

On World Food Safety Day 2020, remember that each year over 600 million people fall ill from contaminated food and 420,000 die. USD 95 billion of productivity is lost from low to middle-income economies each year. Only a One Health approach recognises that zoonotic pathogens pass from animals to humans through direct contact or through food, water and the environment, affecting public health and socio-economic well-being. Governments, food producers, academia, experts, non-governmental and international organizations must work together to improve food safety. Read more at www.ilri.org/world-food-safety-day-2020
