Animal Task Force: a science based re-enforcement of a sustainable European livestock production sector.

Martin Scholten, chair Animal Task Force GAA 4 th multi-stakeholder meeting 15-17 October, 2013 – Ottawa

atf animal task force

The Animal Task Force,

since 2011

An independent group of stakeholders from private sector and knowledge institutes together working on: • promoting a sustainable and competitive animal production sector in Europe, • by fostering knowledge development and innovation in the animal sector.

What we do to create action

Developing dialogue with key stakeholders in Europe.

(European Commission, Members of Parliament, Industry and Sector Organisations, Science, NGOs) Providing input on EU research & innovation policy. (Horizon2020, EIP, JPI FACCE, SCAR) Enhance cooperation in research and innovation in Europe and abroad Enable knowledge exchange (i.e. seminars at EAAP and in Brussels)
