ELV and EAAP: Partnering for Science-Based Info

European Livestock Voice has relaunched its interview series with a new collaboration involving the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP), starting with a conversation with its Secretary General, Andrea Rosati. An expert in animal genetics, Rosati has led EAAP for over two decades and brings a deep academic and technical background, having previously studied in the US, worked with Italian breeders and DNA labs, and served as Secretary General of ICAR. Founded in Paris in 1949, EAAP is a scientific network with about 7,000 members and 35 countries, including some outside the EU. It primarily includes researchers, technicians, and professors working in livestock science. In this first ELV/EAAP video chat, Rosati highlights the complementarity between EAAP and ELV, noting that while EAAP generates robust scientific knowledge, ELV excels at public communication. Together, they aim to make scientific data more accessible, particularly in contexts where misinformation about livestock farming is prevalent. This partnership seeks to contribute by bringing evidence-based perspectives to policy, media, and public discourse. Read the full article here.
