Animal Welfare Foundation: 2020 Discussion Forum - Innovation & Welfare

Join AWF for a day of CPD dedicated to animal welfare on Monday 8th June, 2020 at One Great George Street .

The Discussion Forum is an annual event that brings together expert speakers, veterinary and animal welfare professionals, students and parliamentarians to confront current welfare issues and inspire change.  It offers a range of networking opportunities that continue into the evening at the joint AWF/BVA reception at the House of Commons.

The 2020 theme, ‘Technology and welfare: a happy partnership?’, will look at how technological advances are influencing our ability to improve animal welfare in a variety of different areas.

Sessions include two big debates. Innovation and overtreatment – does the desire to innovate compromise companion animal welfare? Farming, sustainability and welfare – what are the interactions between farming methods, production systems, sustainability and welfare? How might changing the interpretation of ‘under our care’ impact animal welfare?
