2006 Future Trends in Animal Agriculture Symposium

The most recent Future Trends in Animal Agriculture (FTAA) Symposium – entitled Future Trends In Animal Agriculture: Addressing International Trade Complexities of Animal Welfare – was held on September 17, 2008 in Washington, DC. 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, NIFA has led, or worked with the organizing committee for, the symposia.
