ABSTRACT

The Science Council (SC) of the CGIAR recently initiated a process to solicit insight from a number of multi-disciplinary stakeholders involved in food safety so as to identify priority areas for food safety research on which the CGIAR Centers might focus. Since the research areas related to food safety are quite broad, a roundtable workshop of experts was held on 8th and 9th May 2007 in Washington DC (hosted by IFPRI) with the aim of identifying (1) gaps in food safety research which relate to the poor, and, (2) those pro-poor food safety research priorities on which the CGIAR system might focus.
