	Environmental inhibitors in agrifood systems: Considerations for food safety risk assessment. Transforming agrifood systems is key to meeting the growing global food demand while reducing agriculture’s environmental impact. Environmental inhibitors can help reduce methane emissions from farming sectors like livestock and rice cultivation, and the loss of nitrogen from farmlands. While not yet in widespread use, methanogenesis inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors and urease inhibitors, are being explored for their capacity to both increase nitrogen use efficiency and reduce the impact of agriculture on climate change. Although various environmental inhibitors are currently in development, with some already in use across markets, potential food safety risks from residues in food products have not always been fully addressed. This publication proposes a food safety risk assessment process for environmental inhibitors addressing potential residue uptake and transfer into crops intended for human consumption and foods of animal origin.
