Can consumers benefit from restricted antibiotic use?

Spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a major food safety concern, but reports suggest that the restrictions in use of antibiotics in organic animal farming promote lower levels of antibiotic resistance compared to the conventional production.

SafeOrganic partners from Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden and Czech Rep. have been investigating this and are now ready to show the results at the Closing Seminar in Copenhagen 30 October.

Join the seminar of the SafeOrganic project “Restrictive use of antibiotics in organic animal farming – a potential for safer, high quality products with less antibiotic resistant bacteria”.

At the seminar results will be presentet and discussed. 

SafeOrganic is funded by the CORE Organic II (Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming systems) Funding Bodies, being partners of the FP7 ERA-Net project.
