Aflatoxins affect the health of close to 70 percent of the population of the world through contaminated food.
Enhancing resilience throughout our food systems is essential to addressing the impacts of climate change on food supplies, food safety, and nutrition as well as the broader development impacts of food system disruptions.
Aflatoxins are fungal metabolites—mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus living in soil—that contaminate crops throughout growth, harvest, storage, transportation, and processing.
Much policy interest in sanitation and hygiene promotion focuses on changing behavior and increasing demand for these goods.
