Team GB en route to the PATHWAYS general assembly in Cluj Napoca to discuss future livestock systems 🐄🐏🐐🐑🐓🐔👨‍🌾👩‍🌾@pathways_europe @UniofReading @Tim_kingsclere @PastureForLife

This week I’m in Cluj Napoca, Romania for the @pathways_europe annual General Assembly meeting - with researchers and farmers from across Europe, exploring sustainable livestock futures 🌱🐄🐂🌳 Food gets 10/10 so far!!

Great to hear from Lizzie Rowe who is leading the @pathways_europe Living Lab with @PastureForLife to compare macro nutrient and vitamin B content between supermarket bought beef and 100% pasture fed beef grazed on species rich swards! 🌱🌸🐂

Amazing trip to Romania has come to an end - what a privilege it is to have a job that enables me to travel whilst undertaking research activities! Thank you for the excellent general assembly @pathways_europe - it’s been a blast! 🐮

The role of media and transparency are crucial elements in facilitating sustainable transition of the livestock sector. ✒️

Only when farmers feel the economic security, they would feel incentivised to implement further practices that increase animal welfare

Can we use technology to measure happiness of animals? It is a new field of research but there needs to be an agreed definition in order to find indicators that can be measured by existing PLF tools 🐄

There is a need to balance out technological definitions of precision livestock farming and the extent to which it can be applied on an individual farm-level

Considering the EU One Health policy, food safety, and the role of the livestock sector, we discuss the modern tools built to ensure that health and welfare are at the core of our transforming food systems.

We are LIVE 📹 The ‘one welfare’ concept recognises the interconnections between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment It focuses on understanding how human and animal welfare can increase wellbeing and contribute to a healthier society.
