Dr. Mindy Brashears, former Undersecretary of Agriculture for Food Safety, recently discussed the need to build bridges among government, industry and academia on an episode of the Food Chain Chats podcast.
“At times, there was a disconnect in data sharing and communication due to the structure of everyone’s roles,” according to Dr. Brashears. “Knowing we all have the same objectives would go a long way in protecting public health. We could progress food safety by leaps and bounds with more communication and cooperation.”
