Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security in Macaronesia: Research on the benefits and risks of ingesting plant products to consumers’ health and development of hazard minimisation strategies

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Spain - Portugal (Madeira - Açores - Canarias (MAC))

Date of latest update: 2022-09-02

Description

Description (EN):

Study of the risk assessment for the intake of adverse compounds, silent hazards, that may be present in vegetables that are consumed every day in the Region, identifying those hazards with the greatest contribution to the risk as a whole. Consequently, we develop strategies aimed at minimising these hazards in the short, medium and long term. The strategies are directed to two areas, on the one hand food production in a sustainable agriculture framework, with training tasks aimed at farmers and, on the other hand, consumers, with dissemination and training actions in the promotion of a healthy diet based on the consumption of more fruits and vegetables, aimed at the youngest of the population, to train future consumers more demanding in food health and sustainable agriculture.

Description (ES):

Estudio de la evaluación del riesgo por la ingesta de compuestos adversos, peligros silenciosos, que pueden estar presentes en vegetales que se consumen día a día en la Región, identificando aquellos peligros con mayor aportación al riesgo en su conjunto. En consecuencia, desarrollamos estrategias dirigidas a minimizar esos peligros a corto, medio y largo plazo. Las estrategias las dirigimos a dos ámbitos, por un lado la producción de alimentos en un marco de agricultura sostenible, con tareas formativas destinadas a los agricultores y, por otro lado, los consumidores, con actuaciones de divulgación y formación en el fomento de una dieta saludable basada en el consumo de más frutas y hortalizas, dirigidos a los más jóvenes de la población, para formar a futuros consumidores más exigentes en salubridad alimentaria y agricultura sostenible.
