The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will be organising a workshop on Food Risk Communication in collaboration with the Food Industry Asia (FIA).

This will cover traditional and modern food safety methods, health and nutrition advocacy, critical incident interventions, and more.The sessions will aim to identify industry priorities and roles, and disseminate the vision of food risk communication with risk management institutes and country regulators. The key focus areas will also look at problems, solutions, challenges, and opportunities for food risk communication across Asia.

Participants will learn about a holistic approach to food risk communication, understand how to deploy the FIA toolkit modules, and how best practices of multi-sectoral collaboration between all players in the food system could be implemented towards testing and refining food risk communication practices.
