EurSAFE 2018 is a forum for discussion of ethical issues around food\, including production\, consumption\, marketing\, policy and health. The future perspective and the utopian tradition as a driving force and inspiration for changes in society are central to the congress. However\, general contributions to agricultural\, animal and food ethics are also welcome.
\nThe EurSafe 2018 Congress in \;Vienna \;will focus on the role of professionals and professions in the food chain. Within the public debate surrounding food it is often argued that the key to meeting current challenges is changing \;consumer \;behaviour. Professionals and practitioners like farmers\, retailers\, veterinarians\, or researchers are only in the limelight when the media report on so called &ldquo\;food scandals&rdquo\;. To better understand and get to grips with current and future problems in the food chain\, it is essential that we pay greater attention to the role and position of professionals. Different expectations and interests lead to challenging and complex situations for all parties trying to understand the nature of the problems. Additionally\, participating players act in different areas of responsibility and are subject to professional values and constructions of virtues\, as well as expectations about their expertise. Therefore\, the prominent questions are: What are the main ethical challenges for the professionals in the food chain? Who within this complex field holds responsibility for emerging issues? What does it mean for the food-related professions to work in a field of immense social tension? Which virtues are necessary to do a proper job? \;
