Safe and healthy food is a basic human need and right. It is needed to sustain overall health and economic development in light of the recent pandemic.

With this, a research program called FRESH FARMS or Food Risk and Safety Analysis in Agricultural Farms towards Improvement of Control Strategies for Food Safety is currently implemented to ensure that the food from farms is free from any contaminations.
