Assessing Future Technology Needs
➢ Defining the scope of the food testing mission;
➢ Defining the broad spectrum of applications
needed;
➢ Identifying the challenges and technological
barriers;
➢ What it will take to overcome them.

The Future Landscape: An expanding global marketplace; an expanding list of food safety testing needs. Future Needs: ➢ Some are timeless; never changing ➢ “The Emergents.”; complex; unexpected; unknown Needs for the Future
The Challenge(s) Adaptability; Broad applicability Fit-for-purpose Surveillance applications Environmental Quality control “Bad Actors”/Harmful Actions; Economical Fraud The evolution of food safety testing in an expanding and evolving global marketplace…”the emergents” “Farm - to – Fork”/Block Chain Rapid response; Trackbacks and epidemiology New matrices, additives, new adulterants, new pathogens, new public health concerns Global disparities in resources and technological capabilities and capacities Regulatory compliance criteria
Innovation and Food Testing Technology
➢Partnerships and joint ventures; differing scopes of responsibility but with a common objective; ➢“Dreamers and Collaborators;” ➢Perspectives; ➢Integration and adaptation of technological advances from unrelated applications. The Innovation Paradigm
10 ➢ Facilitate and promote cooperation and collaboration; ➢ Leveraging resources and ideas to meet the mutual needs; ➢ Efficiency, expedience. ➢ Accelerated technological advancements. Tools and applications for: research, regulatory analyses, for industry, to guarantee safety, to guarantee quality:
The Value in Partnerships
11 Future Food Testing Technology & Partnerships ➢ Convening of global stakeholders from government, industry and academia to identify issues and articulate analytical standards and methods; ➢ Convening organizations and experts dedicated to developing and validating standards, methods, and technologies of global relevance and global applications.
13
➢ The process of translating an imaginative
idea(s) or invention into a good or service that
creates value.
➢ Synonymous with: transformative, a
metamorphosis, a breakthrough
➢ Establishing innovative partnerships:
➢ The “Dreamers” and the “Collaborators”
➢ Vision is the common denominator
Innovative Thinking…
14 ➢ ORIGINAL OR CREATIVE THINKING; UNFETTERED BY CONVENTION; ➢ NOT GROUNDED IN REALITY; NO PRECONCEPTIONS; ➢ VISIONARY; DARING TO RISK; WILLING TO FAIL ➢ THE BENEFITS OF SUCCESS OUTWEIGH THE PRICE OF FAILURE “BLUE SKY THINKING”
16 “DARPA is designed to have a high failure rate. …. They embrace failure.” Steven Block, Stanford University “The DARPA Model” ➢ Transformational not incremental ➢ Rapid turnaround; risky research ➢ Collaborative, robust innovation ecosystem of academic, ➢ corporate, and governmental partners ➢ Working at the boundaries of knowledge; multi- disciplinary ➢ Time-limited management teams to instill urgency to the mission ➢ Enlisting a wide array of public and private-sector partners through grants, contracts and other agreements
17 The value of perspective in assessing a common problem among partners … … and finding a unified solution Partnerships, Collaboration and Perspective
Meeting the Future Technological Challenges Complex Challenges ➢ Acceptance, adoption, incorporation ➢ Whole genome sequencing, ➢ Metagenomics ➢ Bioinformatic pipelines ➢ Dietary supplements and botanicals “Emergent” Challenges ➢ Cannabis and Hemp ➢ Food Authenticity & economically-motivated adulteration
