The Food Safety Knowledge Network (FSKN) is a unique collaboration between public and private sectors with the goal of increasing the food safety skills of individuals throughout the food value chain in emerging markets. These skills are increasingly needed throughout the food chain as highlighted by recent worldwide food safety events.
The goal of FSKN is to help strengthen the food industry’s response to the complex food safety knowledge and training challenges that affect emerging markets. Michigan State University with generous support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the USAID Partnership for Food Industry Development are setting the stage for harmonized best practices and core training among the many standards, certification and training bodies.
