Societal acceptance of livestock & feed production in
the EU
In the first session, speakers from DG Sante and EFSA will
share their outlook on creating a 'win-win' situation both for European
Consumers and operators in the EU feed and food chain, paving the way for
increased societal acceptance of modern sustainable feed and livestock
production systems, based on the Circular economy approach, taking on board
latest risk assessments at global and EU level on alternative feed ingredients,
which could pave the way. Fefac experts, national regulators and key food chain
partners will discuss their views and respective expectations and demands as
regards the role of feed production in the circular economy.
It is with great pleasure that Fefac and Turkiyembir,
representing the Turkish feed industry, invite members and EU feed chain
partners to the XXVII Fefac Congress in Antalya, 21–22 April 2016, on the key
conference theme 'Societal acceptance of livestock & feed production in the
EU'.
The European Commission’s Circular Economy Package released
in December 2015 provides a new holistic policy approach to a more
resource-efficient food and feed chain management respecting both food &
feed safety and environmental objectives.
In the wake of the COP21 agreement and its ambitious Climate
Change targets, Michele Galatola from DG Envi, Pascal Gréverath from Nestlé,
Nick Major from ForFarmers and Thomas Kaufmann from Evonik will discuss the new
LCA tools that allow for the measurement of the environmental footprint of feed
production and its impact on developing effective GHG emission mitigation
strategies for livestock production.
In the final session, on the sourcing of responsible feed
ingredients, Fefac shows it looks beyond the manufacturing sites of feed
producers and has invested in building responsible supply chains. Maria Pilu
Giraudo from Aapresid, Argentina, Carlo Lovatelli from Abiove, Brazil, and
Brent Babb from USSEC, US, will showcase their efforts in the field of
supplying responsible soy to the EU feed industry.
Fefac President, Mr Ruud Tijssens, and Turkiyembir President,
Mr Ülkür Karakuş, look forward to welcoming you as guests in Antalya at the
XXVII Fefac Congress. Your active participation to this event will provide the
best guarantee that this event will succeed in generating new approaches on how
to best present the feed industry’s contribution to safe & sustainable
intensive livestock systems to be shared by Fefac members and its livestock
sector partners. For the first time, Fefac’s Congress will be held in
conjunction with the 5th Global Feed and Food Congress, co-hosted by IFIF, Fefac
and Turkiyembir, in cooperation with FAO, 18–20 April 2016.
