Activity
As a food safety and quality professional, and an advocate for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production), I believe education is the foundation for safer food systems and sustainable practices. Together, we can reduce food loss, protect public health, and create opportunities for a healthier future.
As an advocate for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), it is my passion to raise awareness about food loss and waste and to promote strategies that ensure equitable access to nutritious food for all.
