Poultry production: keeping the customer satisfied

09 Dec 2020, 09:00 to 10:00
Online

In the latest discussion in the One Health Poultry Hub Roadmap series, two panellists will discuss how consumers influence chicken breeding, rearing and animal welfare standards, and what role producers can and should have in influencing consumer choice. In a world facing increasingly difficult choices, this panel will seek to promote an informed debate on issues including i) poultry production systems that work for vulnerable producers while also contributing to resilient foods and ii) understanding what makes chickens feel content and safe.

The panellists are:

  • Professor Appolinaire Djikeng, Director of the Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health, University of Edinburgh.
  • Professor Christine Nicol, Professor of Animal Welfare, RVC.

The session will be moderated by Fiona Tomley, Director of the UKRI GCRF One Health Poultry Hub, UK.

The discussion will be hosted on Zoom. You will receive the link after registering.

A Q&A discussion will be included in the webinar. Further discussion will continue online following the event. Find out more on the event listing on Eventbrite.

About the Roadmap series

This series of discussions focuses on identifying and tackling key issues underpinning sustainable development from the perspective of one of the world’s most important industry contributors to nutrition security: the poultry industry.

Through robust exchanges between panellists and active audience engagement, we will develop a One Health Roadmap that seeks a destination where economic, social and environmental sustainability and justice are key indicators of success. We aim to weave together diverse One Health threads with the aim of identifying practical and equitable approaches to health security, food security and food systems, and justice in human, animal, and environmental health.
