tries. Recognizing, understanding and preparing for the impacts of climate
change further highlight the need to promote interdisciplinary approaches
to addressing challenges affecting food safety given the interrelationships
among environmental impacts, animal and plant health impacts and food
hygiene. These interrelationships are further complicated by the broader
public health implications of climate change as well as the food security
implications. To address the challenges of climate change all the above-
mentioned practices need to be followed in letter and spirit and also new
crop varieties and technologies need to be generated through research.
