EurSafe is an independent organisation, which provides a focal point for those who have a professional interest in the ethical issues involved in agriculture and food supply.
The Society, founded in 1999, is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural and non-partisan organisation. Members of the society have interests that span a variety of interdisciplinary areas, such as food, animal, agricultural and environmental ethics. In particular, EurSafe aims to encourage academic education and research, and international debate on the ethical issues involved in agriculture and food supply.
In July 2009 EurSafe organises a congress. The premise of the Congress is to explore the challenges that the agri-food system may face over the coming decades, in particular exploring the role that ethics and ethical discourse will play in shaping our shared future. What food horizons do we face? What role will agricultural science and the biosciences play? How should the food system be governed? What will the farm of the future look like? What are our choices?
The Congress will be held at the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus.
