SheepToShip LIFE final conference (June 10, 2021)

The conference “Sheep may safely graze, and help with the challenge of climate change” will be held online on Thursday 10 June 2021, through the Zoom platform.

The conference is the final event of  SheepToShip LIFE, one of the projects LIFE MAGIS collaborates with, realized from July 2016 to June 2021 and funded by the EU LIFE Programme 2014-2020 with the aim to reduce by 20% in 10 years the greenhouse gas emissions of the sheep dairy sector in Sardinia, through the identification and application of eco-innovative techniques.

The online conference intends to discuss how to move from sustainable practices into governance tools adopting eco-innovation to meet policy goals. In particular, during the conference the Environmental Action Plan for the Sardinian dairy sheep supply chain, the main outcome of SheepToShip LIFE project, will be presented. The debate is promoted in a multi-policy European context, from Climate Change adaptation and Sustainable Development paths and frameworks, to Rural Development Programmes and Green Deal strategy, in a multiscale perspective relevant for sheep farming and, more in general, for the entire livestock sector, at regional, national and European levels.

The conference is addressed to decision-makers, researchers, farmers’ associations and individual farmers, representatives of the cheese industry, consumers and other livestock stakeholders.

The event is free. The official languages are English and Italian. During the event simultaneous translation will be provided in Italian and English.
