The food system generates enormous amounts of data. But data is only valuable when we can understand it, trust it, connect it, and use it. We are working to create the systems, the agreements, and the ways of working that will make it more possible to use more data.

Food safety information is generated every day in many places and through many modes. Here are some of them:

• Environmental monitoring

• Laboratory testing

• Sanitation records

• Water quality monitoring

• Supply chain records

• Traceability systems

• Inspections

• Audits

• Recalls

• Outbreak investigations

• Corrective actions

• Root-cause investigations

• Research

• Sensor and automation systems

Yet these data often exist in different formats, use different terminology, and remain trapped inside organizational, departments, or technological silos. That limits what each organization, each supply chain, and the food system can learn.

The Global Alliance for Food Safety is working to change that.

• We bring together food companies, scientists, laboratories, technology companies and the relevant stakeholders to develop the standards, frameworks, knowledge, and partnerships needed for a more appropriately connected food safety system.

• We are bringing universities, regulators, public health organizations, and other stakeholders to quickly and more transparently share their data, insights, and expertise.

• We are bringing people together with guardrails, so research is relevant, public funding prioritizes serving the public good, and science supports actions.
