ATF organises each year at least 2 events on a dedicated topic, to foster knowledge exchange and engage a dialogue with a large panel of European stakeholders from the European agri-food systems (research providers, industry, farmers, policy makers, NGOs, European Technology Platforms, European initiatives…) around the role of livestock and the need to support a transition in livestock farming via R&I. In 2016 and 2019, making use of its wide network of European stakeholders, ATF supported the dissemination activities of EU-funded projects through the organisation of dissemination events targeting stakeholders.

In 2021, ATF has chosen to address the topic: “Going beyond the Feed vs Food competition: crops and animals together to address food and nutrition security” around 3 events:

• One-day symposium of the ATF & EAAP Livestock Farming Systems Study Commission, EAAP Annual Meeting in Davos on August 30^th, 2021
• 11^th ATF Seminar in Brussels, on November 18^th, 2021 - 9.00-13.00
• ATF-FEFAC-Horizon 2020 projects stakeholder event, in Brussels, November 18^th, 2021 - 14.00-16.00 (see programme below)

 

• Disseminate project results, targeted to stakeholders;
• Engage a dialogue with various stakeholders;
• Address how research and innovation can support the livestock sector;
• Provide input to European research and innovation agendas and to public policies to secure Europe’s role as a leading global provider of safe and healthy animal-derived products;
• Support knowledge development and innovation;
• Foster ownership by farmers and industries.

Format
