Climate change and the food chain - what’s the risk to safety and security? 

Climate change is already transforming the way we grow, process and consume food, and the risks to food safety and supply are escalating. Drought, flooding and resource scarcity drive price spikes and fraud, while shifting temperatures encourage pests and affect growth of harmful microbes.  Join us on 18 November for this free webinar with Dr Lisa Ackerley as we unpack how climate change is reshaping food safety and security at every level of the food chain. Discover practical steps to help your business stay resilient, protect operations and safeguard your customers. Furthermore, Lisa will touch on how businesses can help mitigate climate change - and possibly save money!  Lisa is joint editor of the November 2025 Climate Change and Health edition of Perspectives in Public Health.
