The Animal Task Force proudly announces their 4th Seminar:
Putting the i in livestock
Innovating for a productive and sustainable livestock sector
Wednesday 5 November 2014, Brussels
How does the European animal production sector innovate? How can we turn
the excellent research being done in Europe into practice? How can industry and
research together work on a more sustainable sector?
Innovation is essential to support a sustainable animal sector in Europe. The 4th Animal
Task Force seminar “Putting the i in livestock – innovating for a productive and
sustainable livestock sector” focuses on the implementation of animal science in
practice, with a focus on how innovation is delivered.
The seminar aims to give a better understanding of industry’s view on how to move
research into practice, and to promote innovation-enhancing research in animal
production. The seminar brings together stakeholders from industry, policy, research and
societal organisations.
