Description

COVID-19 update; this seminar is now zoom-only. Please use the zoom link: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/419930398 to join at noon. Authentication is required. This talk will introduce the global and national impact of microbial food spoilage and safety challenges and will provide examples of farm-to-table research efforts aimed at reducing microbial food spoilage and safety, focusing on completed and on-going digital ag related projects. Specific projects to be covered will focus on (i) predicting water and field level contamination with foodborne pathogens and (ii) predicting food product shelf life and spoilage. The presentation will conclude with thoughts on the development of food systems-based digital ag approaches to develop and implement precision food safety tools and improve the sustainability of food systems. Martin received a veterinary degree and a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, and a Ph.D. in Food Science from Cornell, where he currently is the Gellert Family Professor of Food Safety. His research interests focus on farm-to-table microbial food quality and food safety. The Cornell Initiative for Digital Agriculture (CIDA), a faculty led initiative focused on creating a strong voice in the emerging area of Digital Agriculture (DA), invites Professor Wiedmann to present his research for CIDA’s monthly seminar series.
