The theme of “Precautionary Principle” coupled with animal agriculture is spot-on for this conference as this principle is being utilized by some governments to make regulatory decisions.
It is a strategy to cope with possible risks where scientific understanding is yet incomplete, such as the risks of nano-technology, genetically modified organisms and systemic insecticides.
How animal agriculture deals with the impacts of the precautionary principle now and in the future will dictate how innovative and competitive US agriculture will be in the global marketplace.
