Looking for: A consortium/project addressing sustainable water management and water quality, particularly at the interface of food safety, agricultural water use and food processing, where integrated monitoring and risk-based approaches can support safer and more resilient water management.
Expertise: Food safety and food microbiology; water quality and safety; microbiological and chemical hazards; hazard identification and prioritisation; risk-ranking; risk-based monitoring; irrigation and processing water; water-related food safety; mitigation and control measures; food-chain risk analysis; safe water use and reuse in food production.
Topic 1. Integrated Monitoring and Assessment for Sustainable Water Management
Topic 3. Smart, Secure and Adaptive Water Infrastructures for Sustainable Water Management
Topic 4. Resilient Water Systems Through Systemic Change, Policy Coherence and Inclusive Governance
At Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR), I work at the interface of food safety, water quality, agricultural water use and food processing, with a focus on microbiological and chemical hazards and their implications for food safety.
My expertise includes hazard identification and prioritisation, risk-ranking, risk-based monitoring, assessment of monitoring data and evaluation of mitigation and control measures. A particular focus is on irrigation and processing water, including the management of water-related hazards in fresh-produce production and processing and the safe use and reuse of water where relevant.
I can contribute to projects developing integrated monitoring and assessment approaches, helping identify which hazards and water-quality parameters should be prioritised, how monitoring can be targeted to support decision-making, and how monitoring evidence can inform mitigation and adaptive management.
I am particularly interested in projects connecting water monitoring with the water–food–agriculture nexus, including agricultural water management and water use in food processing, and in translating scientific evidence into practical decision support for resilient and adaptive water management.
