II SYMPOSIUM ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF EUROPEAN BEEF

MADRID. OCTOBER 2027

Following the success of the first edition held in Brussels, the 2nd Symposium on the Sustainability of European Beef will bring together scientists, farmers, industry representatives, policymakers and sustainability experts from across Europe to share knowledge, discuss challenges and explore solutions for a more sustainable beef sector.

A unique meeting point to discover the latest advances, exchange experiences and learn about the actions being developed across the European beef value chain to contribute to a more sustainable future

It will be the first of two editions to be held as part of the European Promotion Plan Sustainable European Beef (SEUB) promoted by the Spanish Interprofessional Agri-food Organisation for Beef and Veal (PROVACUNO) and the Belgian Agence Wallonne pour la Promotion d’Une Agriculture de Qualité (APAQ-W) and co-financed by the European Union.

A European-level meeting to address the three-dimensional sustainability of the beef sector: economic, social and, of course, environmental sustainability.

The objective will be for scientists, technicians, producers, certifiers, farmers, institutions and different stakeholders in the chain to debate and analyse, from a scientific and technical point of view, the situation of the sustainability of beef cattle in its three dimensions and, in particular, how the sector is contributing to the reduction of emissions and the preservation and improvement of soil.

PROGRAMME

The symposium will be divided into four roundtables. The participants of each of them will be announced soon:

Round table focused on how to achieve economically viable and affordable beef production, addressing profitability, costs, the role of public and European policies, and new forms of financing and investment to ensure the sustainability of the sector.

This round table will address the role of beef sector in the fixation of rural population, focusing the debate on generational change, the involvement of young women in extensive livestock farming, livestock management as heritage preservation and its link with territorial sustainability (DG AGRI, EC).

Round table on the role of beef cattle in environmental sustainability, highlighting their contribution to soil health and emission reduction, with practical focus on grassland management and transition to more sustainable livestock farming models.

Round table focused on how the European beef sector communicates its sustainable commitments through collective campaigns, quality labels, transnational cooperation and innovative projects with measurable results, reinforcing its image and transposition.
