Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...
Microbes in Food Production01:29

Microbes in Food Production

Microbial fermentation is central to food biotechnology, enhancing flavor, texture, preservation, and stability. Fermentative microorganisms metabolize carbohydrates into organic acids, alcohols, and other metabolites that inhibit spoilage organisms and improve digestibility while contributing distinctive sensory qualities.In baking, amylases naturally present in flour hydrolyze starch into monosaccharides such as glucose, which Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments anaerobically. Through...

Area of Science:

  • Animal Health Law
  • Disease Prevention
  • Biosecurity Training

Background:

  • European Union Animal Health Law (2016/429) mandates disease prevention through livestock biosecurity, surveillance, and traceability.
  • Effective implementation of biosecurity relies on trained key actors, but their specific training needs are not well understood.
  • COST action BETTER (CA20103) aimed to address this knowledge gap regarding biosecurity training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and rank the needs and expectations for biosecurity training among farmers, veterinary practitioners, veterinary students, and other stakeholders.
  • To gather insights for designing more effective and targeted biosecurity training programs.
  • To inform future strategies for enhancing livestock health and safety through education.

Main Methods:

  • A World Café event was organized under the COST action BETTER (CA20103).
  • Seventy-eight participants, representing farmers, veterinary practitioners, veterinary students, and other actors, were divided into four groups.
  • Needs and expectations were identified through group discussions and then ranked by importance.

Main Results:

  • Farmers prioritized practical training, flexible scheduling, reminders, and short event durations.
  • Veterinary practitioners favored a blended learning approach with theoretical knowledge and practical biosecurity plan development.
  • Veterinary students emphasized foundational knowledge of biosecurity principles, while other actors had varied needs including pathogen spread, cleaning protocols, and communication skills.

Conclusions:

  • The World Café effectively identified diverse biosecurity training needs across key stakeholder groups.
  • Tailoring training content and delivery methods to specific roles (farmers, vets, students, transporters) is essential.
  • Further research with broader international participation is recommended to refine training strategies for optimal livestock biosecurity.
