Cross-visit ‘Monitoring animal welfare’
May 8 @ 12:00 am
Animal welfare is closely linked to human health and environmental sustainability, reflecting the principals of the ‘One Welfare’ and ‘One Health’ approaches. For over 40 years, the EU has promoted ethical farming, and new legislation proposed in December 2023 reflects growing consumer demand and scientific advances.Monitoring is essential for improving welfare in practice. EIP-AGRI Operational Groups are testing innovative tools, including precision livestock technologies and animal-based indicators, to better assess welfare on farms.This cross-visit brings together stakeholders to exchange knowledge, explore smart monitoring solutions, and support farmers in delivering high-welfare, resilient livestock systems.Main objectiveThe main objective of EU CAP Network cross-visits is to foster in-depth, transnational exchanges of knowledge, by connecting EIP-AGRI Operational Groups from different Member States that are active in the same field of work.EIP-AGRI Operational Group projects (OGs) generate new knowledge and valuable experiences. OGs that tackle similar challenges may produce different results and benefit from learning from each other. Projects working on complementary issues may be inspired by each other, while new OGs that address similar issues may emerge in other regions and countries. To build on the knowledge generated and maximise its potential impact, interactions between projects and across borders are essential.Specific objectivesFoster peer-to-peer learning: provide OGs with a platform to learn from each other’s experiences, innovations, and best practices. Participants gain insights into different approaches to tackling common agricultural challenges.Exchange innovative practices: facilitate the exchange of innovative solutions and technologies that are developed in OG projects. Participants can assess if these innovations are applicable in their own regions.Discuss challenges and solutions: create an opportunity for OGs to discuss shared challenges, bottlenecks, and potential solutions. Collaborative problem-solving and knowledge-sharing are encouraged.Disseminate project findings: promote the dissemination of project findings and outcomes beyond individual OGs. This contributes to the wider adoption of successful practices and innovations across the EU.Establish collaborations and partnerships: encourage OGs to explore opportunities for future collaborations, partnerships, and joint projects. This enhances the impact of EU CAP Network initiatives.Check out what participants in last year’s cross-visits have said about their experience.Have a look at the report from the last cross-visits.EU CAP Network cross-visit ‘Use of agricultural and forestry residues for creating alternative sources of income for farmers and foresters’ | EU CAP NetworkEU CAP Network cross-visit ‘Climate adaptation on the ground – innovative solutions to build farm resilience’ | EU CAP NetworkIf you have any questions, please contactcrossvisit.innovation@eucapnetwork.eu.Find more information on thecross-visits.
