Conferences
12–14 September 2012, Hamburg, Germany
The 2nd IFOAM Animal Husbandry Conference
Building on the first IFOAM conference in the US in 2006, farmers and scientists will once again have the opportunity to exchange information and build new partnerships at the 2nd IFOAM International Organic Animal Husbandry. Although organic livestock production has made significant advances over the last few decades, navigating complex regulatory frameworks and dealing with other challenges facing the sector, organic livestock systems will benefit from an exchange at the international level.
This conference will concentrate on health and food safety in organic livestock production systems, marketing trends, innovation in organic livestock production systems and livestock breeding strategies. Key figures from around the world will present the diversity of organic livestock systems, including opportunities and challenges on the horizon. Topics will relate to a wide range of livestock species: cattle, poultry, pigs, small ruminants, fish, bees, rabbits, horses and others.
