About this event

  • 7 hours

The aim of the workshop organized by the EU Innovation Action AVANT is to facilitate dialogue and consensus on specific themes pertinent to the future of antibiotic-free pork production. The involvement of significant partners such as SEGES, COOPERL and FVE, alongside other relevant national and international stakeholders, will offer a diverse array of perspectives and expertise crucial for addressing the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of this type of production in the years to come. One significant outcome could be the development of a position paper encompassing the collective insights, agreements, and recommendations arising from the discussions held during the workshop.
