Identifying and increasing sustainable practices along the supply and production chains of European livestock
For sustainable food
Coordinated by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and comprising 30 partners from 12 countries, PATHWAYS is a 5-year (2021-2026), €9 million Horizon 2020 project aiming to reduce environmental impacts while addressing societal demands for safe, nutritious and affordable meat and dairy products by identifying and increasing sustainable practices along the supply and production chains of the European livestock sector.
Using a participatory approach the PATHWAYS project will co-develop visions, scenarios and transition pathways for sustainable livestock husbandry and food systems based on innovative practice hubs, living labs and interactions within a European multi-actor platform and wider community of practice.
PATHWAYS will inform policy, research, and business strategies to support the transition to more sustainable livestock production and consumption, thus contributing to the EU Farm-to-Fork Strategy which is at the heart of the EU Green Deal.

In this video, Florin Burzo, Executive Director of the Țibleș-Someș-Meleș Agricultural Cooperative, shares the inspiring journey of bringing together specialists, farmers, and processors to link forage diversity in semi-natural grasslands with milk quality. Located in a mountainous region of Romania, this Practice Hub has been looking at how traditional practices, natural grazing, and innovative approaches are enhancing milk quality and benefiting both the environment and local communities. The cooperative has over 150 small farmer members and collects 8,000-10,000 litres of high-quality milk daily.
