Professor Richard D. Handy from Plymouth University has held a seminar entitled “Food Safety and the Uptake of Nano-materials across the Gut” which conducted on May/2/2019 at 10:00 AM in the VIP Hall of Cihan University Erbil. The aim of this seminar is to give an overview of how food safety is managed from “farm to fork”, and the applications of nanotechnology in agriculture & fisheries, food production and drinks. Examples of research to underpin nanosafety in the food chain and research on the uptake mechanism across the gut.

Additionally, responsible innovation of nanotechnology in the agri-food sector. Nanomaterials are being used in the food sector for packaging, as food ingredients, and as preservatives.

Framework for the safety testing of chemicals in food includes nanomaterials in foods.

Effort should also protect the food chain: soil quality, crops, farm animals and animal feed.
