STEPS TO SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK

Following the high level of interest and feedback generated by the Global Farm Platform position paper published as the Comment ‘Steps to Sustainable Livestock’ (Nature 507, 32-34, 2014), we are planning an International Conference on sustainable ruminant livestock production to be held in Bristol 12-15 January 2016. This event will be held under the joint auspices of the Global Farm Platform, the Food Security and Land Research Alliance and the University of Bristol's Cabot Institute, with financial support from the Global Innovation Initiative and the Worldwide Universities Network. The conference will focus on seven themes based on the headings in the position paper.
