Recently, “Food Safety and Confidence” have become a great concern in many countries including Japan. Food safety is guaranteed by scientific assessment, whereas food confidence is promoted by disclosure and publication of relevant information and crisis management measures, etc.
We will be continuously engaged in research and education on food safety and security. Through such activities, in addition to contributing to the research field, we will also provide the general public, governments and the private sector with information, train leaders with high levels of knowledge and skill through education of students from Asia as well as businesspersons, and closely collaborate with domestic and international organizations specialized in food safety.
