'http://www.fao.org/food-safety/en/  From our oceans   to our farms…  and homes,   climate plays a key role in food safety.   As climate change pushes temperatures up…  the safety of our food is at risk.  How?   Warmer seas create favourable conditions for marine biotoxins…  which can affect seafood safety.  Warmer soil releases more heavy metals,   which can be absorbed by crops.  Rising temperatures bring more pests,   which can make plants more vulnerable to fungal infections.  Food safety challenges associated with climate change…  are accelerating, and affecting our health…  livelihoods, economies and cross-border trade. Our food supply chains and regulatory systems…   must address these challenges by…  adopting practices and policies…  that build resilient food systems. The future of food safety requires…   a proactive approach across…  health, agricultural, trade and environmental sectors.  By taking steps to keep food safe today,   we protect the lives and livelihoods of tomorrow.  http://www.fao.org/food-safety/en/  Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN    Follow FAO on social media!  * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO  * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao  * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao  © FAO: http://www.fao.org  #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals'
