19-21 October 2020. MycoKey 2020. Final International Conference on-line. “Integrated and innovative key actions for mycotoxin management in the food and feed chain”
This international Conference was organized together with the 2nd International Forum on Mycotoxins in Animal Production and the participation of MyToolBox project under the umbrella of the International Society for Mycotoxicology (ISM).
Voices from food and feed industries
- During the conference, experts and international scientists presented the latest knowledge and researches on mycotoxin management, including the outcomes of the four years EU projects, with special focus on Europe-China dialogue.
- The conference, aims to be a very important and strategic appointment for all the scientific communities, industries/companies and stakeholders, that operate in the field of the food safety, and it is based on a cross -disciplinary approach, required by the deep evolution of the whole agrifood sector.
- The programme of the Conference is strongly oriented towards integrated strategies for mycotoxin minimization worldwide including topics on advances in applied research in food chain , and topics focusing on industrial and networking actions.

AgResults Impact Evaluation Report: Nigeria AflasafeTM Challenge Project FINAL 8 February 2019, 85 pages
Broadening the market will require raising consumer demand, enforcing existing aflatoxin regulations, and increasing aflatoxin testing capacity. (page 6)
The market penetration relative to the total maize market in Nigeria was small, and the resultant market is best characterised as a ‘niche’ market. (p. 51)The competitors did not focus on raising awareness about aflatoxins, and chose to focus on the economic motivations to maximize maize procurement. (...) With AT/AC maize selling at a premium, lack of awareness of the health risks may have increased the likelihood that they would sell rather than consume AT/AC maize reducing the project's health benefits. (p. 51)
To the degree that the prize competition did not raise awareness about aflatoxins among farmers who adopted Aflasafe, our findings suggest a role for public support for awareness raising and enforcement of aflatoxin standards. (p. 52)
