Wageningen ur approach to aflatoxin

Wageningen UR focuses on improving food safety and reducing aflatoxin contamination through research, training, and collaborative projects in Europe and Africa. The organization, which includes Rikilt and Plant Research International, emphasizes diagnostic services, predictive modeling, and the examination of mycotoxins in food and feed. Their efforts are aligned with societal challenges related to food quality, safety, and sustainability.
