Full commitment to animal welfare and environmental objectives
Animal welfare is currently a concept that the majority of European citizens, 95%, are requesting, according to the latest Eurobarometer. Caring for animals and the environment have become problems that require a solution if somehow the Carbon 2050 goal set by the European Union is to be achieved.
To meet consumer demand and comply with the European zero emissions pact, the interprofessionals for sheep and goat meat, INTEROVIC and the Hungarian JTT, and for beef, PROVACUNO, have put all their efforts into achieving a joint compromise that is supported by the EU and is based on concern for the welfare of ruminants.
To do this, the three organizations finalized an European animal welfare seal with the aim of informing the consumer about the origin and the care that has been taken of these ruminants. This represents a change that, according to these interprofessionals, "will revolutionize consumption systems and production on a path that goes through the sustainability and traceability of food.”
Through this new three-year campaign (2022-2024) focused on the welfare of ruminants on an European scale, the interprofessionals want to project their promise to the sector, animals and society. This is a commitment made by the farmers, based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), current legislation and advances in science.
