Interdependencies in the field of food, agriculture, and raw materials are growing. Global population growth, rising prosperity, and changing consumption patterns in emerging economies have increased the demand for all three. Geopolitical trends shape global markets for food, agriculture, and raw materials and carry consequences for the Dutch agro-food sector. Critical sectors of the Dutch agricultural complex are dependent on imported raw materials from the rest of the world and are therefore vulnerable to supply disruptions resulting from geopolitical developments. This report explores how the Dutch government could strengthen the resilience of the Dutch agro-food system and mitigate risks to the supply of critical raw material imports.

The specific IgG response induced by BCG vaccination was investigated in 27 adults using two purified BCG antigens in a dot immunoblotting assay. The reflectance values increased significantly after vaccination when P64 but not when P32 was used as the antigen. The values measured after vaccination were compared with those obtained when testing sera from patients with tuberculosis. We observed that the level of anti-P64 IgG reached after BCG immunization was high enough to preclude a serological differential diagnosis with tuberculosis., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published
