Brussels, 1 December 2022: Over 250 delegates from the beef farming community across Europe gathered online to hear from BovINE partners, whilst influential EU policy-players from DG Agri, DG Sante, Copa-Cogeca and EUFRAS attended an in-person presentation in the afternoon at the project’s final dissemination conference.

Online presentations by partners focused on sharing good practice solutions from across the project’s four themes of animal health & welfare, socioeconomic resilience, production efficiency & meat quality and environmental sustainability.   Simultaneous translation into Spanish, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Italian, Polish and Portuguese ensured effective knowledge exchange with the European beef farming community. 

DG AGRI’s Diego Canga Fano, newly appointed lead on Research, Outreach and Geographical Indications and BovINE’s guest speaker said:

 “DG AGRI recognises and appreciates the valuable work of BovINE in providing evidence-based knowledge to create solutions for farmers as well as insights for policymakers and all stakeholders. BovINE’s innovations will contribute to ensuring that livestock production plays its part in securing a sustainable and circular food system.”

Information on the research innovations and good practices generated by the network and the ‘on farm’ demonstrations arranged by partners are available to access on the BovINE Knowledge Hub (BKH). The project’s website provides links to a wealth of additional resources including animations, webinars and multi-language materials accessed via the country flags of the nine partner countries.
