Great discussion of these issues at Future Food Symposium in panel session on whether there is role for #livestock in the ideal future food system. Paul Frobisher of Strategic Innovation chaired event & I was on panel alongside Colin Ramsay (director of film Six Inches of Soil) and Robert Barbour of Sustainable Food Trust. Event reinforced the need to look at our Food System as a whole in a balanced way, avoiding a focus on false dichotomies like plants vs animals as food. Modelling is needed to better understand where efficiencies can be gained and circularity exploited to make best use of our agricultural resource, with a light environmental footprint, all while delivering high quality foods for our diets. Evidence based science is critically important to take the heat out of arguments based on bias or misinformation to truly focus on the most important issues.
The #DublinDeclaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock. The video below is worth reposting as some of your network won't have seen it. A neat explanatory video looks at why we need livestock in our food systems and how badly framed arguments are used to criticise livestock in general. This group of scientists admit livestock farming systems need to change to address the issues society & the environment face, but clearly state that evidence supports the important role for livestock in our future food systems, where they deliver a wide range of good outcomes. Two key benefits of livestock are; 1. conversion of low grade feedstuffs, or foods and food by-products we won't eat, into highly nutritious animal sourced foods (eggs, milk & meat), which are critically important in diets for growing children, women of reproductive age and the elderly. 2. helping return nutrients to soil through use of manures, reducing need for artificial fertilizers. Some critics argue this declaration is about vested interests maintaining livestock production as we know it. That is too simplistic. It is more about making the point of how livestock can deliver value. Many scientists readily acknowledge that reductions in consumption of animal sourced foods can benefit some groups in society but put others at risk, with great differences between countries globally. And many agree we cannot continue to farm in ways that harm the environment or provide poor nutritional options to society. Our debate must be more nuanced and the Dublin Declaration does not deserve to be cast as the livestock industry defending itself. Rather it highlights the reasons how livestock deliver value to our #agrifoodsystem. Let us now focus on how we optimise our wider food system and avoid polarised debate on simplistic representations focus on parts of that wider system. #Sustainability is the end goal - in ALL the dimensions that comprise this complex goal. #Innovation is needed in how we think of and manage our agri-food system in terms of impact it has on the environment and impact it has on human nutrition. Sustainability is a long-goal but we must begin working together to make progress now. #UKAgriTechCentre has produced a series of related reports in the past years on Net Zero & Livestock, why Protein Quality is important in assessing the role of livestock, and how the natural cycle of nitrogen underpins animal (& plant) protein production. Contact us if you would like links to these reports. Please share the video below about the Dublin Declaration widely if you agree with the content. Appropriately qualified scientists are welcome to apply to sign the declaration. You don't have to work in livestock related science. #sustainability #dublindeclaration #animalfrontiers #circulareconomy #sciencebased #evidencebased #sustainablelivestock #sustainableagriculture #globalfoodsecurity #meatmatters

A significant milestone indeed. With the release of these guidelines, the CFIA has now completed their guidance with respect to the regulatory environment applicable to gene editing. The result? A Canadian regulatory process for gene edited plants that is clear, designed with an eye to supporting market access, and - perhaps most importantly - science-based. Very happy to see a regulatory approach based on approval of the specific trait or characteristic displayed by the plant, rather than the breeding method used in its development. Why does this matter? This remarkable technology has potential to transform innovation in seed and plants - and the crops, grain, and feed resulting from their production - allowing science to respond much more quickly to the challenges facing agriculture and food production, thereby increasing food security. Clearing the way for its use creates the opportunity for new applications of the tech, and lets Canadian companies innovate. #agtech #agriculture #food #seed #feed #geneediting
Today marks a significant milestone for Canada’s agricultural sector as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency unveils its latest livestock feed guidance, completing the trio of policy updates crucial for clarifying Canada’s requirements for gene-edited crops.
