The UP‑RISE Horizon Europe project will respond to one of the greatest global food safety challenges – mycotoxins. UP‑RISE will unite EU and AU multi-stakeholders in the transformative process for a safer food supply for all
UP-RISE is an international project providing groundbreaking knowledge to understand mycotoxin contamination and to deliver solutions in Africa.
The UP‑RISE Horizon Europe project will respond to one of the greatest global food safety challenges – mycotoxins. UP‑RISE will unite EU and AU multi-stakeholders in the transformative process for a safer food supply for all
UP‑RISE taps onto the wealth of indigenous fermentation technologies to upscale and create holistic innovations that are resilient and safe food safety systems in Africa
Leveraging our EU-AU network, UP‑RISE guarantees sustainability through Training Hubs and an Accelerator Platform, which will ultimately contribute to the Food Safety Strategy for Africa
UP‑RISE is a unique project gathering key actors within the value chains of fermented foods with significant nutritional importance in the 5 target African countries. Given the high risk of mycotoxin contamination, our aim is to ensure the safety and the quality of these products through targeted research and innovative approaches that focus on fermentation processes
