Coordinating Management of Food Safety and Water Quality

چکیده
Eff orts to exclude disease organisms from farms growing irrigated lettuce and leafy vegetables on California’s central coast are confl icting with traditionally accepted strategies to protect surface water quality. To begin resolving this dilemma, over 100 offi cials, researchers, and industry representatives gathered in April 2007 to set research priorities that could lead to eff ective co-management of both food safety and water quality. Following the meeting, research priorities were refi ned and ordered by way of a Delphi process completed by 35 meeting participants. Although water quality and food safety experts conceptualized the issues diff erently, there were no deep disagreements with respect to research needs. Top priority was given to investigating the fate of pathogens potentially present on farms. Intermediate priorities included characterizing the infl uence of specifi c farm management practices on food safety and improving our understanding of vector processes. A scientifi c subdiscipline focusing on competing risks is needed to characterize and resolve confl icts between human and environmental health.
