Assessing resilience in the livestock sector - of what, to what and for whom?


17 February 2021, 17:00 CET
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated livestock’s significant capacity for resilience in times of crisis. This webinar aims at initiating the discussion of resilience within the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock focusing on the relationship between animal health and production, livelihoods, climate change and COVID-19.
Based on the importance of addressing resilience in the livestock sector, especially during challenging times, the Action Network Closing the Efficiency Gap is happy to organize an important discussion within the GASL community to identify the main parameters and a common approach to the topic of resilience in livestock, with a special focus on ruminants. The webinar will feature expert panellists that will be debating on actors, common components and disturbances of resilience.
