James McCulloch Attends Animal AgTech Innovation Summit in Amsterdam

James McCulloch recently attended the Animal AgTech Innovation Summit in Amsterdam, where industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers gathered to explore innovation and sustainability in livestock agriculture.

The two-day event featured keynote speeches and panel discussions on topics including:

EU trade strategy and the importance of supporting innovation among high-output farmers.
Scaling EU protein production and reducing strategic dependencies on imported nutrients.
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in feed formulation and life cycle assessments (LCAs).
Climate-related challenges to animal health and the need for updated biosecurity and vaccination strategies.
The impact of upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on feed sourcing and compliance.

James noted that the summit provided valuable insights into how collaboration across the supply chain, from farmers to processors and retailers, can help deliver more resilient and resource-efficient livestock systems.
