- consumers perception of live stock production, animal health and welfare and of the quality and safety of the resulting food products
Special emphasis will be given in the Conference to foods that improve the health of elderly consumers and on foods of marine origin:
- How can we design food improving the health of elderly?
- How can this food prevent cognitive decline, possible dementia, osteoporoses and improve the vitamin D status and body mass?
- What is the possible role of long chain n-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in this area of animal/marine derived foods?
Keynote speakers for each session will include leading international representatives from industry, science and regulatory authorities. Each session will contain 5-10 presentations to be given by participants in the COST Action as well external participants.
