We are pleased to contribute by sending the draft White Paper of the Animal Task Force that will be published next Dec 19. This consists in a strategic research and innovation agenda for a sustainable livestock sector in Europe, including suggested priorities for research for Horizon2020 2018-2020 Work Programme, to enhance innovation and sustainability in the livestock production sector of Europe's food supply chains.

It includes an introduction summarizing i) current challenges faced by animal productions in Europe, ii) the livestock's role in realising a sustainable circular bio-economy for Europe and iii) the importance of supporting innovation, sustainability and competitiveness in Europe's livestock sector.
