Shaping the Future of European Livestock through Research and Policy

We are pleased to share that Andrea Rosati, Secretary General of the EAAP (European Federation of Animal Science), recently held a series of productive private meetings with key Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to advocate for the future of our research and industry area.

The discussions involved influential voices across various political groups:

• Benoit Cassart – Renew Europe
• Carlo Fidanza – European Conservatives and Reformists
• Daniel Buda – European People’s Party
• Michele Picaro – European Conservatives and Reformists

The primary goal of these encounters was to bring the collective voice of European livestock research and industry directly to EU policymakers. Andrea Rosati emphasized several critical points:

• Advocating for Science: Highlighting the indispensable role of research and technology in the sustainable development of the EU livestock sector.
• Informed Policy: Pushing for EU policies that are evidence-based and aligned with the latest technological advancements.
• Industrial Growth: Ensuring that the livestock industry remains competitive and innovative through targeted European support.

By fostering this dialogue, EAAP continues to ensure that scientific excellence remains at the lead of the legislative agenda, ensuring a resilient future for animal science in Europe.
