Healthy Animals, Resilient Farms: A Transatlantic Dialogue on Animal Health and Welfare

How can Germany and the United States work together to shape the future of animal health and welfare in the swine and poultry industries? At a time of changing consumer expectations, growing biosecurity challenges, and increasing pressure on producers, the Transatlantic Dialogue on Animal Health and Welfare will bring together farmers, veterinarians, scientists, industry representatives, and policy makers from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss practical approaches and opportunities for cooperation. 
The event will present the national and transatlantic policy recommendations developed by the fourth cohort of the U.S.-German Forum Future Agriculture and place them in the broader context of national policy debates and transatlantic agricultural cooperation. Drawing on perspectives from Germany and the United States, the discussion will explore how animal welfare improvements, resilient animal health systems, and greater transparency between producers and consumers can be advanced in ways that are practical, science-based, and economically feasible. If you would like to participate please send an email to eimler@aspeninstitute.de. A detailed agenda and list of speakers will be published soon.
The project is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany with funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
