Welcome to the Regional Conference on Sustainable Livestock Transformation
The first Regional Conference on these issues, organized by FAO, MGAP and INAC, will be held next week in Punta del Este.
The President of the National Meat Institute, Conrado Ferber, commented that Uruguay offered to organize this mega event on Livestock and Sustainability, due to its history of collaboration in two main lines of work. On the one hand, the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance Partnership (LEAP). This is a multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to improve environmental sustainability through harmonized methods and metrics and data. It is a global initiative to accelerate the sustainable development of the livestock supply chain and support coherent climate actions, to contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement.
On the other hand, Uruguay, with the participation of government agencies and institutions such as INAC, has participated in the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, also in a very active way to address its environmental commitments.
We share an interview conducted by Comunicación de Presidencia de la República with INAC President Conrado Ferber.
