Which government policies to create sustainable food systems have the potential to simultaneously address undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability?
‘undernutrition’, followed by ‘environmental sustainability’, and ‘obesity/ NCD s’. Of the top five expert-ranked food supply chain policies, two were perceived to have triple-duty potential: (a) incentives for crop ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
between airborne pollen and potential emission sources was established compared to human-managed grasslands and crops. Wild grassland distribution explained between 60-70% of the variance of the mean grass ...
Experimental accumulation and depuration kinetics and natural occurrence of microcystin-LR in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).
HRMS. Finally, MC- LR was detected in one store-bought basil sample, representing the first occurrence of cyanotoxins in an edible crop from Belgium. Full text language: English Category: Peer-reviewed ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
crops, fruits/berries, leafy and root vegetables, sequentially. Afterwards, a sampling of nine different kinds of fruits and vegetables from the Belgian market was accomplished. In total, 103 samples were ...
Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms
detected, both at high and low percentages. No impact related to food processing or to the presence of other crop species was observed. The present proof-of-concept study has allowed us to deliver the first ...
Towards a Better Quantification of Cyanotoxins in Fruits and Vegetables: Validation and Application of an UHPLC-MS/MS-Based Method on Belgian Products
samples; quantitative analysis; analytical methods; UHPLC-MS/MS; microcystin; crops Abstract: Vegetables and fruits can potentially accumulate cyanotoxins after water contaminated with cyanobacteria is used ...

Carry-over of some Fusarium mycotoxins in tissues and eggs of chickens fed experimentally mycotoxin-contaminated diets
Volume 145 (2020) Keywords: Broiler chickens Carry-over Egg feed Fusariotoxins Laying hens Liver Meat Muscle SKIN Abstract: Fusarium mycotoxins are fungal contaminants found in different crops intended for ...
Exposure of workers to pesticide residues during re-entry activities: A review
treated in order to realize different tasks (e.g., for pruning, cutting, picking, harvesting, pest scouting) or to handle a contaminated crop commodity (e.g., sorting, bundling, packing). A review of the ...
Genome Editing in Agriculture: Methods, Applications, and Governance—A paper in the series on The Need for Agricultural Innovation to Sustainably Feed the World by 2050
land and water caused by global population growth, as well as the challenges climate change poses to agriculture, genome editing for crop and livestock improvement is garnering increasing attention. This ...
