Biosecurity forNon-Intensive Farming
A Tailored Approach for Animal Production Systems in Europe
Co-developing practical, evidence-based biosecurity solutions with farmers, veterinarians, researchers, and policymakers.
About project
Our Mission: Better biosecurity for healthier animals
BIOFRAME is a European research and innovation project funded by the European Partnership on Animal Health & Welfare (EUPAHW). The project aims to design a farmer-centred, adaptable biosecurity improvement framework specifically for non-intensive livestock systems, where outdoor access, wildlife interaction and diverse management practices introduce unique disease challenges.

BIOFRAME will deliver:
- A stakeholder-designed biosecurity framework for real farm conditions
- Pilot studies across seven European countries
- A practical economic tool showing the financial impact of biosecurity measures
- Policy recommendations for workable and effective legislation
- Knowledge-exchange resources, workshops, and training for farmers & vets
Why This Matters
Non-intensive systems provide welfare, environmental and biodiversity benefits — but face higher risk of disease introduction and spread. BIOFRAME helps strengthen these systems through evidence-based, realistic biosecurity approaches that improve animal health, financial sustainability and public trust.
