Scientific Advocacy in Dispute: Dialogue on The Dublin Declaration

The Dublin Declaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock has sparked significant debate within the scientific community and across the global agriculture sector. This PATHWAYS webinar explores the credibility and impact of the Declaration on science, policy, and the livestock sector — bringing together two experts with contrasting perspectives on the role of livestock in society.

Connecting the Fork to the Farm: Digital Tools Empowering Food Choices

Food is more than what’s on our plates, it shapes our health, our communities, and our planet. 🌍 In this webinar, discover how three EU-funded projects are using digital innovation to transform food systems from the ground up. What you’ll see:

• mEATquality Sustainability App – Guiding livestock producers toward more sustainable practices
• Code: re-farm Consumer App – Using augmented reality to make food labels transparent and connect farmers with shoppers
• PATHWAYS Food Basket Tool – Helping consumers understand the environmental and nutritional impact of their diets

Unveiling Post-Farm Sustainability in European Livestock Value Chains

This PATHWAYS webinar explores how sustainability in the livestock sector goes far beyond the farm gate. While traditional assessments often focus only on primary production, this session takes a deeper look at the often-overlooked stages of the value chain, from processing and distribution to retail and consumption. By identifying key leverage points for positive change, experts highlight how post-farm sustainability assessments can contribute to better policy, fairer supply chains, and a more resilient European food system.

Technology for One Welfare

This PATHWAYS webinar discusses modern tools and strategies facilitating change in the EU’s livestock sector. Focused on aligning with the EU One Health policy, the ‘one welfare’ concept recognises the interconnections between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment.

Precision Farming : Enhancing Livestock Management

Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) integrates various technologies into cohesive systems to monitor livestock in real-time and on an individual basis. It utilizes single or multiple tools to ensure precise monitoring, allowing farmers to track animal health, behaviour, nutrition and environmental conditions with accuracy and immediacy, in both intensive and extensive systems. This approach has the potential to optimize farming practices, enhance animal welfare, and contribute to more efficient and sustainable livestock production.

Less Is More: A Policy Debate for Sustainable Food

Given the ongoing Animal Welfare legislation revisions (transportation questions) + Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) (postponed past 2024 elections), PATHWAYS is de-polarizing the debate around food and agriculture: what is at stake, how to get industry leaders to implement greater sustainability measures, how to move towards less is more models of production, and address the challenges of implementing food sufficiency and climate resilience across Europe.

Towards Climate-Smart Livestock Systems

Livestock production clearly contributes to climate change, but it is also affected by changing climates. Nowhere is the stake higher than in Sub-Saharan Africa, where livestock keepers are on the frontline, already grappling with the harsh realities of climate change. With a focus on combining scientific data collection and solution-led field research on climate-smart livestock production, join us for an in-depth discussion with leading experts.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock: Measuring to Modelling

The livestock farming sector has been in the limelight for its outsize contributions to climate change: in the EU, it makes up more than half of methane emissions. Studying and measuring these emissions can be used to build models, which can illustrate a sustainable path forward for European agriculture.
