Register for conference on animal farming and the balance between production and consumption

Published: 15 October 2018

The sign up for the conference "Animal Task Force 2018" is open. The conference will take place on the 7th of November in Brussels. This year, the conference will discuss the balance between production and consumption and animal farming for Humans’ well-being and planetary health.

It is often communicated in the media and among the general public that European citizens should reduce their consumption of animal products/proteins. Very often, the justification is both based on human health and sustainability point of views (use of resources, impact on climate, environmental footprint, AMR, animal welfare…).

Can we find a consensus on recommended shares of animal products in our diets, at the junction of human health and planetary health? What share of animal-derived food in our diet is desirable from the environmental and health point of views? What does it mean for animal production in the EU and globally?
