Why, how, and to what degree are antibiotics used in the food system? Driven by concerns about antibiotic resistance, reduction in antibiotic use has changed the dynamics between food supply, food safety and public health. Concurrently, scientific advances
offer alternative options such as probiotics and bacteriophages. This one-day conference will review the implications of a reduction of antibiotic use in the food system from veterinary health, human health, food safety, and food system economic perspectives.

Researchers, health professionals, and a growing wellness-conscious public use technology to monitor health status, particularly weight and energy balance. Big Data harnessed from electronic medical records, smart phone applications and consumer purchasing
behaviors have created a foundation for focused research targeting obesity, but at what cost?
This event aims to address two questions: Can Big Data tell the whole story? This will explore whether notoriously hard-to-measure factors like nutrition can be included and integrated with analysis of physical activity and sleep. Are there risks to personal
privacy and social equity? Ethical aspects are intertwined in the efforts to collect data that can be used to translate research into enhanced health across population groups.
This one-day conference will address:
* Big data and its role in obesity intervention development
* Advances in consumer and medical technology targeting obesity and nutrition
* The ethical implications of using data in interventions
