EFRA at Synergy Days 2024: Driving Innovation in Food Safety

EFRA’s participation at Synergy Days 2024 was a highlight, with our innovative approach to food risk predictions taking center stage. On October 14-15 at the World Trade Center Barcelona, EFRA’s booth buzzed with conversations about how AI and extreme data methods are transforming food safety practices. Attendees were eager to learn about EFRA’s cutting-edge solutions, aimed at tackling some of the most pressing challenges in the food industry. We also highlighted EFRA’s real-world applications, including risk predictions for poultry pathogens, enhanced predictive capabilities for pest alarms, informing regulatory decisions with food risk intelligence, and pioneering research on mycotoxins in animal feed, clearly linking our work to key areas of the food supply chain.

One of the key moments was Maria-Eleni Dimitrakopoulou from Agroknow presenting a pioneering use case on mycotoxins in animal feed. Early results showed a significant link between mycotoxin levels and climate change, providing valuable insights into food safety risks. Interactive polls during the session further engaged participants, allowing for real-time feedback on EFRA’s data analysis approach.

Another highlight was Temi Gkouthas from Rainno, who delivered a concise but all-inclusive pitch outlining EFRA’s 3-year mission. Focused on transforming food risk predictions through AI and data analytics, the pitch underscored EFRA’s commitment to moving from reactive measures to proactive food safety solutions.

Beyond sharing our expertise, Synergy Days provided a great opportunity to connect with other projects, exchange knowledge, and explore future collaborations. The event facilitated meaningful discussions on cross-sectoral challenges, allowing us to align EFRA’s efforts with other Horizon Europe initiatives. This collaboration promises to strengthen our approach to leveraging data and AI for sustainable, impactful solutions across European industries.
