Foresight plays an important role in identifying emerging food safety challenges and opportunities that will continue to arise as the global context evolves with ongoing transformation of the agrifood systems. As transformation of the way we produce, distribute and consume food is underway, there is need for effective and proactive food safety management that keeps pace with the changing global context, to ensure food safety-based vigilance throughout the agrifood systems. Therefore, the application of foresight in food safety has never been more pertinent. Foresight will enable emerging issues to be looked at through a food systems lens by encouraging a holistic way of evaluating both opportunities and challenges that can have varying impacts on food safety, and through it on agrifood systems.
