FEFAC and Nevedi, representing respectively the European and Dutch feed industry, will co-host the
66th FEFAC Public Annual meeting on June 2, 2022, in Utrecht, during the VICTAM/VIV Europe Expo, expecting more than 200 delegates from the EU feed sector and value chain partners. The main theme of the public annual meeting will focus on the “EU food and feed autonomy in times of geopolitical crisis/EU Food Resilience plan and the Green Deal”.
EU and Dutch feed industry and farmer leaders will exchange views with Wolfgang Burtscher, director general, DG AGRI, European Commission and Guido Landheer, deputy director general, Dutch Farm Ministry on how the feed industry can contribute to the EU feed and livestock sector resilience following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which closed off essential feed grain and mineral supplies from the Black Sea region.
The second expert panel will discuss the perspective of Rasmus Prehn, Danish Farm Minister and chair of the Amsterdam Declaration Group on Deforestation, on the European Commission proposal on deforestation-free supply chains as well as existing practically feasible soy value chain solutions using FEFAC’s “no conversion” Soy Sourcing Guidelines 2021 as a key reference to achieve the Green Deal objectives on Biodiversity.
