GENERAL OBJECTIVES

The significance of safe food production and consumption has been widely recognized, as the risks increase of food nutritive value reduction due to its industrial production. Even in highly developed countries industrial food production brings about new threats to human health.
Various issues concerning safe food are increasingly addressed both in professional and general publics of the developed countries, while the post-socialist ones are rather lagging far behind them.
With the general aim to contribute to communicating valid knowledge and supporting exchange of opinions and experiences, and to making the knowledge actionable, the Ecological Conference® on Safe Food has been held in even years since the year 2000. The conference is planned to:
•	address, on a scientific-expert level, a wide range of key issues concerning safe food production and environmental consciousness;
•	discuss and assess the causes of ecological imbalance in conventional agricultural production, and the impact of various pollution sources on agricultural production at present;
•	offer practical solutions, based on scientific indicators and expert opinions, to help meet actual challenges and those that lie ahead;
•	present relevant proposals and suggestions for the long-term strategic programmes in food production (in the industrialized, controlled, integral, alternative and sustainable agriculture)  without negative effects on human health and environment.

SUBJECT AREAS

The Eco-conference® is open to all the  issues concerning safe food, from the point of its production, to the point of consumption.
The contributions are most welcome that point out good or bad practices, while validating factors affecting food safety and quality in the following subject areas:

•	Ecological factors and food production
•	Correct choice of seed (genetic) material
•	Status and preparation of soil as the basic substrate for the production of food and feed
•	Use of fertilizers and pesticides in integrated plant protection
•	Use of biologicals
•	Food processing technology
•	Economic aspects, marketing and packaging of safe food
