BIOFRAME is developing a comprehensive and adaptable biosecurity improvement framework designed specifically for non-intensive animal farming systems across Europe
Key Outcomes
Produce an adaptable framework to develop biosecurity on farms
Analyse the benefits & economic impact of biosecurity measures
Provide policy recommendations
How we will get there?
Co-create solutions with farmers, vets, policymakers & consumers
Assess the economic impact of measures on farm
Analyse current policy & identify required improvements
Run pilot studies on farm to test solutions in real-world settings
Who we need:
Farmers- Sharing insights and testing solutions
Vets- Contributing expertise in disease prevention
Policymakers- Shaping feasible and effective policy
Consumers- Identifying consumer concerns regarding animal welfare and the specific areas where they demonstrate a higher willingness to pay
This week the partners of Bioframe met for the kick off meeting at Lusófona University in Lisbon. The weather may not have been kind, but it was great to all get together to hear from each work package and how they are progressing plans for this exciting project.
Watch this space for how you can get involved in workshops or interviews over the coming months to help shape the development of the biosecurity framework.
