ATF-EAAP Special Session, 28 August, Tallinn, Estonia

From 2017|08|28 to 2017|08|28

On Monday 28th of August the ATF-EAAP Special Session will be held in Tallinn, Estonia. The theme of this session: Food integrety in the food chain: How can the animal production sector contribute?

Nowadays the demand, consumption patterns, but also the consumers' engagement and perceptions of food are changing and diversifying. An increasing number of consumers becomes more interested in how their food is grown, processed and brought to market. In most European countries the consumption of meat and dairy is decreasing and this consumption could decrease even more due to the development of new technologies as affordable alternatives and new consumption patterns. Not only nutritional qualities of food, but also the effect on environment, animal welfare, etc. are determining consumption choices. 

The Animal Task Force would like to engage a dialogue between farmers, industries, stakeholders from the primary sector and from the food chain, along with decision makers, scientists and citizens to provide input for public policies and contribute to dialogue and communication in order to support the construction of animal derived food integrity. 

Registration is needed and open.
