The role of meat in society: presenting the Dublin Declaration of Scientists
Event co-organised by the Animal Task Force (ATF) and the Belgian Association for Meat Science and Technology (BAMST)
Wednesday 12th April 2023
HYBRID EVENT
University Foundation, Brussels, Belgium
 
 
The purpose of this ATF-BAMST symposium is to communicate the main findings of the recent Dublin Summit “The Societal Role of Meat - What the Science Says” held at Teagasc (Ireland) in October 2022 to the Brussels community of stakeholders, policy makers and journalists.
 
The Summit gave rise to the influential “Dublin Declaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock”, which has meanwhile been signed by some 900 scientists globally. Both the Summit and the Declaration have set a landmark regarding the integration of the available evidence in this important domain, which is at the heart of the debate on the resilience and sustainability of food systems.
