Food-borne illnesses pose a global health problem, claiming 2 million lives each year. This year’s World Health Day, April 7, focuses on food safety, so NC State University’s Abstract is taking an in-depth look at the topic through a series that highlights university work that’s making a difference.

The series’ first topic is why everyone should care, featuring the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ Dr. Ben Chapman.

We’ll be linking to future posts in the series here, so check back for more.
