Biography

Annette Nygaard Jensen is a Senior Researcher whose research focuses on the transmission control of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in primary production to enhance food safety in food production chains. With a growing interest in the rearing of insects for food, she addresses microbiological safety issues associated with this new livestock production form. Her work includes experimental studies on Salmonella and Bacillus contamination in mealworms, highlighting the need for regulatory changes for utilizing low-value organic residues as feed. Jensen's research emphasizes non-chemical, animal-friendly methods for pathogen reduction in livestock, particularly in organic farming. She is actively involved in projects such as CalfCare, assessing the effectiveness of lactic acid bacteria in feeding calves, and SafeChicken, evaluating methods for reducing Campylobacter in broiler production. With expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals, she aims to provide insights into circular bioeconomy and food safety concerning organic farming practices.
