EurSafe 2019 will be a forum for discussing ethical issues around food and agriculture, including production, processing, wholesale, consumption, marketing as well as policy and health issues.

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?
