Audio Welcome to the 2011 Food Safety Conference

May 25th, 26th, 27th,  2011

Welcome to the Monterey Conferences 

We cordially invite you to attend the 2011 Symposium on Food Systems & Public Health to be held in May this year in the picturesque City of Monterey, in Monterey County.  We hope you will enjoy the program prepared for you, as well as the many sites and activities this part of our coast has to offer.

Casually called the “S3 Symposium” (after our motto Safe●Secure●Sustainable), the first and very successful S3 Symposium held in San Diego in November 2009 brought a wide range of food, public health and environmental interests together for two days of highly informative interdisciplinary presentations and panel discussions.  In Monterey, the S3 Symposium will continue to build on this success by uniting experts from federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with industry environmental health professionals, food producers, academia and other individuals and organizations that seek to promote the understanding of the interdependency of agricultural production, sea food harvest, food safety, social equity and environmental sustainability.

This year’s theme for the S3 Symposium is Harvesting the Land and the Sea. We will compare the food production systems and health impacts of the Sea Food and Agricultural industries – from the bountiful fisheries in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the Southern Gulf Coast, to the fertile fields of Monterey County’s historic Salinas Valley made famous by our celebrated local author, John Steinbeck.

We welcome you to join us in Monterey as we partner together to develop strategies to create safe, secure and sustainable food systems.
