What can attendees expect from this year’s forum?
“This year’s forum will explore the latest advancements in mycotoxin research, management, and mitigation, with a strong focus on digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and precision agriculture. Discussions will address resilience in regional food systems, societal impacts of mycotoxin research, and innovative analytical methods for on-site and online monitoring.”
What would you like the ‘take home’ message to be for people attending the forum?
“The World Mycotoxin Forum has a unique and highly recognised tradition to present the take home messages as the ‘top 5 lessons learned’ presented by the general conference (co-)chairs during the closing ceremony.”
