Avrupa Tarım ve Gıda Etiği Derneği 19. Kongresi

Between the volcanic rock formations of Cappadocia and the shifting landscapes of food and farming, EurSafe 2026 invites you to explore the ethical dimensions of AI and digitalization in agriculture. As we stand at the intersection of urgent climate action and rapidly evolving technology, this conference asks: how can we harness digital innovation to ensure sustainable, just, and resilient food systems? The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlights the urgency of transforming agricultural practices to mitigate climate change and enhance food security. In this context, AI-driven technologies offer potential solutions for optimizing resource use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing resilience to climate impacts. Additionally, the European Union’s AI Act, particularly its focus on high-risk AI applications in agriculture, underscores the need for ethical guidelines to govern the deployment of these technologies. These legal frameworks and ongoing public and political debate emphasize the importance of ensuring that AI, as part of a wider use of technologies in agriculture and food systems is aligned with societal values. As we stand at the intersection of technological advancement and ethical responsibility, this conference aims to explore how AI and digitalization can be harnessed to create sustainable and equitable food systems.
