The event featured hands-on workshops on the production of sourdough bread, kefir, miso and kombucha, alongside lectures and discussions on innovation and food systems. Participants explored the role of food safety in supporting both public health and sustainable food practices.
The programme also included the award ceremony for the video competition “Communicate Science, Change Behaviours!”, with special recognition given to the best food safety message.
