Abstract

This paper deals with three of the major topics of this conference: "Food Animal Products-- Human Food Safety and Nutritional Concepts, Handling and Housing Cattle-- Welfare Considerations and The Environment and Food Animal Production". The discussion centers on recent developments in Sweden, where a consumers' movement has led farmers to reconsider the definition of "good food quality" and how it may relate to the welfare of animals.
