2006 Future Trends in Animal Agriculture Symposium
The annual Future Trends in Animal Agriculture Symposium – entitled Future Trends In Animal Agriculture: Addressing International Trade Complexities of Animal Welfare – was held on September 20, 2006 in Washington, DC. The meeting included USDA Deputy Undersecretary Charles Conner as an introductory speaker and such discussions as Animal Welfare as a Trade Issue; Disease Transfer Potential: Impact on Animal Husbandry and International Trade; and Economics and Animal Welfare Implications of Moving Animal Production Outside the USA.
The goal of the symposium is to provide opportunities to discuss contentious issues of significant societal interest relating to animal well-being in a non-threatening, neutral atmosphere. The FTAA is made up of commodity groups, animal advocacy organizations, consumer representatives, government personnel, and others. Since 1990, CSREES has led, or worked with the organizing committee for, the symposia.
