    Strengthening meat production food safety teaching through a Virtual Slaughterhouse Simulator (VSS) 2024
    Also available in:

    Practical training is crucial to the understanding of how slaughterhouses function and how food safety, animal health and welfare risks are recognized and controlled. Restricted access to slaughterhouses due to biosecurity reasons limits the possibility of on-site experience for students. The COVID-19 pandemic increased these restrictions. The University of Edinburgh developed a Virtual Slaughterhouse Simulator (VSS) to provide veterinary students with insights into the slaughterhouse environment and problem solving necessary to perform specific official control tasks. New versions of the virtual slaughterhouse simulator are planned for other production animals (pig and poultry) and could be further developed for additional species. This document was developed within the framework of the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia and University of Helsinki collaboration on “Call for collecting good practices in improving food safety management”, launched in June 2022. This call aimed to empower organizations to showcase innovative solutions and good practices to improve specific aspects of food safety management in Europe and Central Asia. It facilitates experience sharing and co-learning amongst the Member countries in the region. Five good practices were identified under three categories: i) Measuring effectiveness of food control; ii) Solutions to support small-scale producers to comply with food safety requirements; iii) Use of digital solutions to improve food safety management.

    The brochure offers a comprehensive overview of the various communication initiatives undertaken as part of the EU-funded GCP/GLO/949/EC project. Beyond simply promoting the project itself, the team crafted a robust communication strategy aimed at raising awareness not only about the project's objectives but also about the critical significance of food safety and plant health. One of the main objectives of the communication strategy is to give voice to the partners involved in the project. The brochure highlights the efforts made in this respect. It highlights the interviews conducted with workshop participants and government officials in each country, ensuring diverse perspectives were captured and represented. Activities showcased in the brochure are the press releases circulated around project activities, the X/Twitter posts, the news articles published on FAO websites, EU websites, local publications, and the activities conducted for the 2023 World Food Safety Day. The brochure reveals the efforts made to include voices from our partners across the 12 African Union countries. Interviews were conducted in each country with participants of workshops and government officials to receive their feedback around the assessments and activities. Photos and footage were taken of missions conducted in participating countries to validate the data collected throughout the project period. The footage and photos are being edited and collated to create a series of videos meant to document the work conducted throughout the project.
