2020-2021-2022

EFFAB and FABRE-TP are pleased to present the webinar series Breeders talk Green, aimed at engaging members, stakeholders, EU officials and other active actors in the animal breeding and reproduction sector to discuss sustainability and other relevant topics in the context of the EU Green Deal, including Research and Innovation (R&I).

Different webinars will be organised in the upcoming months and throughout the rest of 2022. We look forward to very fruitful exchanges and discussions to shape the future of the EU animal breeding and reproduction sector.
