Envisioning the place of livestock in a human world

How do animals fit into our vision of work? How can we make on-farm welfare transparent for consumers? And how do work communicate together with livestock farmers to improve farm animal welfare?

In this panel discussion the event organisers will welcome Marjolein de Rooij, author of the book ‘How many vacation days does a pig have?’ and founder of the Animal Labour Union, Dr. Lisanne Stadig, senior policy advisor at the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals, and Dr. Jessica Stokes, Royal Agricultural University, whose work focuses on collaboration between farmers and researchers to improve animal welfare.

This will be an interactive discussion on the place we humans envision for animals in work, the place of information for consumers, and how to involve the chain from farm to fork in welfare improvements.

The plenary will take place on Friday 13th September between 13:00-14:00 as part of the at the EURSAFE 2024 conference’s Plenary Session 5.
