The event provides a neutral forum on the topic of innovations and opportunities to efficiently produce more nutritious, safe and accessible food of animal origin with a smaller environmental footprint.

Identifying and promoting local and diversified livestock systems that are more resilient to shocks and disruptive factors is another goal.

The Conference will be attended by

  • FAO member representatives,
  • producer organizations,
  • research and academic institutions,
  • development agencies,
  • civil society organizations,
  • private sector organizations.

The event covers four main themes:

  1. Better livestock production systems: encompassing management and use of feed and animal genetic resources, animal health and welfare, digitalization and precision livestock farming;
  2. Animal source food for better nutrition: presenting the state-of the-art knowledge on the contribution of animal source food to food security and nutrition and healthy diets;
  3. Livestock solutions for better environment: sharing information about good practices and initiatives to make optimal use of natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
  4. Better life: including how to support small-scale livestock producers to improve their livelihoods and income through inclusive services and policies, fostering more efficient and resilient livestock production.
