Latest on the next EurSafe Congress
The EurSafe Board is delighted to announce the venue for 15th Congress of the European Society for Agricultural and Food Ethics.
The EurSafe 2019 Congress in Tampere will focus on the role of governance and management of the food chain.
These methods are now especially important as the current food system has been found to inflict unsustainable environmental pressures on our planet.
These include, but are not limited to, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, excessive water usage and problems with nutrition cycles.
In addition, issues such as the treatment of farm animals has attracted considerable media and public attention from the ethical point of view.
Therefore, the prominent questions to be discussed at the conference include:
What are the most important ethical issues in our fisheries, agriculture and food systems? How should we govern food systems if sustainability is a key goal?
What kind of management tools are available for this purpose? Whose responsibility is it to make the agriculture and food system more sustainable?
You are invited to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentation via the conference website until
