The project is tackling mycotoxin contamination in multiple food crops including food and feed, pesticide residues in grains and vegetables, microbial contamination particularly Escherichia coli contamination, and food adulteration.
ITC main role is coordination of 4 transnational pilots deployed in Africa, supported by the implementation of an overarching Multi-Actor Approach (MAA) methodology. Moreover, ITC will also utilise a Virtual incubation and acceleration programme for the African use cases.
