The MyToolBox proposal, coordinated by Prof Rudi Kirska from BOKU/IFA, brought together a Consortium of 23 partners from leading institutions in Europe and China, including academia, farmers, technology providers, food industry (including 5 end users) and policy stakeholders who aim at developing novel interventions and strategies for reducing crop losses due to fungal and mycotoxin contamination. After a positive Stage 1 assessment, the participants hope for the full proposal to be granted in order to advance the state-of-the art in mycotoxin prevention and management.
