Animal Agriculture and Food Safety Risk Analysis Course announcementDear Colleagues For the 7th year in a row, David Vose is again teaching our annual two week course on Animal Agriculture and Food Safety, to be held 5-16 September in Ghent, Belgium. The course has an international reputation as being the most comprehensive and intensive available in the field. The course material has been updates to incorporate the latest advances in risk analysis in the field, and the latest or forthcoming standards and regulations. Animal agriculture and food safety risk analysis require quite advanced knowledge of certain aspects of probability and statistical theory, of simulation modelling, and most of all - of problem-solving. During an intensive two weeks, you will learn how to produce international standard risk analyses that focus on addressing the practical management of risks. The course focuses on understanding and the application of the tools and techniques of risk analysis entirely through solving practical problems.
