Envisioning the Future of Livestock Systems | Winter 2022 Newsletter

Envisioning the future of livestock systems | Winter 2022
One year into the project, the core visioning work has been completed from our Practice Hubs and Multi-Actor Platform. From these visions, initial scenarios are being developed on what the future of livestock farming could look like by 2050. The first workshops to further develop these scenarios were conducted during our General Assembly at the University of Reading last week. 

During the General Assembly, partners were treated to tours of the university's Centre for Dairy Research (CEDAR) and Kingsclere Estates, where they learned innovative farmer Tim May's approach to enterprise stacking.

More information on the visions will be available in 2023, as well as a series scientific publications, so stay tuned!

Happy holidays from all of us at PATHWAYS!
