Healthy Food from Healthy Animals
University of Nottingham, 24-25 April 2012
Whilst we need more food to feed the growing world population predicted to be 9 billion by 2050 this food has to be of good quality, nutritious and beneficial to the health of consumers.
There is much debate about the healthiness of foods that animals provide especially dairy products and red meat but it is crucial that public health policy is based on up-to-date factual data. Whilst any limitations in the value of animal-derived foods must be recognized so must the opportunities that exist to maximize both production and the qualities of the food to positively help human health.
This conference will enable delegates to debate the issues and challenges associated with producing food from healthy animals that is healthy for consumers, economically sustainable and from systems that benefit the environment and encompasses good welfare and ethics. This conference draw together up-to-date knowledge and will thus be relevant to commercial and research scientists, those working in the agricultural and food industry, advisors, vets, farmers and policy makers.
