Students and staff at Kansas State University’s Food Science Institute are gearing up to raise food safety awareness in a variety of ways. KSU students from around the world have already prepared a video explaining why food safety is important and a podcast has been recorded for the University’s Global Food Systems podcast series. The discussions in this 7 June podcast cover subjects ranging from human food safety behaviours, cultural contributions and foodborne illness to global child mortality and antimicrobial resistance.

In addition to this, staff members Dr Carla Schwan-Bastos and Dr Randy Phebus were interviewed for Agriculture Today, on the KSU radio channel. Agriculture Today is a daily programme that features agricultural specialists and other experts examining agricultural issues facing Kansas and the nation.
