AMBROSIA was showcased at Agri Innovation Expo 2026, held at the Agricultural University of Athens on 24–25 September 2026. Dedicated to research, innovation and technology transfer in the agrifood sector, the exhibition connected the university’s scientific community with businesses, producers and the wider public. Project partner Smart Agro Hub (SAH) presented highlights of the project’s work on understanding how climate change can affect food safety throughout the farm-to-

AMBROSIA explores how changing climate conditions can influence hazards in cereals and fresh produce, helping Europe prepare for future food safety challenges. A changing climate can affect the safety of food long before it reaches our plates. Temperature, rainfall and humidity help shape the conditions in which microorganisms and fungi survive and grow. As those conditions change, food safety assessment needs to account for how hazards may develop across production, storage

Climate projections and food safety data become more useful when researchers can connect them. AMBROSIA is developing the models and digital tools to support that connection. A climate projection describes possible future conditions. A food safety model examines how a hazard may behave and what that could mean for risk. Bringing these forms of knowledge together can help answer practical questions about the safety of food under a changing climate. AMBROSIA is developing an ap

AMBROSIA brings regional stakeholders into the development of its research and tools, helping connect scientific evidence with the needs of the people who produce and manage our food. A food safety tool needs to address the decisions its users face. For a producer, that may involve understanding a risk affecting a particular crop. For an adviser or public authority, it may involve interpreting evidence across several businesses or a wider region. AMBROSIA places stakeholder p

A strengthening El Niño could disrupt agricultural production and increase pressure on food prices. But changing temperature, rainfall and extreme weather can reshape food-safety risks across supply chains. A powerful El Niño is developing El Niño conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific and are expected to intensify in late 2026. Forecasts indicate a probability that the event will become strong. Strong El Niño events can alter weather patterns, increasing the likel

On 7 May 2026, the AMBROSIA and CATALYSE projects will organise a joint webinar dedicated to scientific innovations for food safety action. The event will mark the beginning of a new synergy between the two Horizon Europe projects, creating an opportunity to introduce their objectives, present their complementary focus areas, and explore future collaboration. The webinar will serve as an introductory session, giving participants the opportunity to learn more about the scope a

The AMBROSIA project is pleased to announce its collaboration with the CATALYSE project, a Horizon Europe initiative working to promote the uptake of innovative solutions for food safety across the food supply chain. This synergy brings together two European projects with complementary expertise and a shared commitment to supporting safer, more resilient, and more sustainable food systems. Both projects address food safety from complementary perspectives. AMBROSIA focuses on

The AMBROSIA project is pleased to welcome the Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) as a new partner in the consortium, represented by Professor Fady Mohareb. Professor Mohareb has already been actively involved in AMBROSIA through his previous affiliation with Cranfield University, contributing valuable scientific and technical expertise to the project. Following his transition to UTC, the university has now joined the AMBROSIA consortium, ensuring continuity in the

The AMBROSIA Project is pleased to announce a new synergy with the MYMATCH Project, reinforcing collaboration across European research initiatives working to address emerging food safety challenges linked to climate change. Strengthening collaboration across Horizon Europe projects Climate change is increasingly affecting agricultural production and food safety in Europe. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and changing environmental conditions can influence the deve

Strengthening collaboration on climate-driven food safety risks and mycotoxin management AMBROSIA is pleased to establish a synergy with MYMATCH, a Horizon Europe project focused on developing an AI-driven mycotoxin management platform to address the impact of climate change on food safety and human health. Climate change is creating new challenges for European food systems, including conditions that may favour the occurrence and spread of mycotoxins in key crops and food pro

We’re happy to share that AMBROSIA’s first article on Wikifarmer is now live! In “AMBROSIA: Rethinking food safety in a changing climate” (published 17 February 2026 ), we explore how climate change is reshaping food safety risks across the farm-to-fork chain, and how AMBROSIA project is working to support more proactive, climate-informed food safety approaches in Europe. This collaboration with Wikifarmer allows AMBROSIA to reach a broad international audience of farmers,

AMBROSIA_project was represented by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) research team members Leonardos Stathas , Constantine-Richard Stefanou and Dr. Christina Kamarinou at the 39th #EFFoST2025 Conference, held in Porto (Portugal) on 17–19 November 2025 and organised by the European Federation of Food Science and Technology 🧪🥼.
