Workshop: Mycotoxins in food– scope, challenges, activities, mitigation options – example Africa

Organized by Ute Rieckmann and Karl Moosmann (GIZ, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH)

• This workshop facilitated a discussion on different perspectives on the problem of mycotoxins in food with data from Africa. 
• Recent Results from the work of international Agricultural Research Centers followed an introductory problem analysis by the Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa. 



PhD student Kizito Nishimwe presented on mycotoxin assessment
and mitigation in Rwanda animal feeds at the #iwcspp 2018 conf

• An overview covering test methodologies (optional exercises) lea into a discussion on approaches for better mycotoxin mitigation.
