The issue of animal welfare is generating growing interest, which can sometimes turn into heated debate, both in France and further afield. In many European countries, the equine industry faces the same challenges: how to respond to societal expectations, reinforce the transparency of its practices and preserve its social licence to operate, involving the non-binding tacit approval of local authorities and organisations. Faced with these challenges, a number of professional organizations and federations have adopted proactive and innovative measures: awareness-raising campaigns aimed at the general public, targeted actions aimed at the media, support for professionals in adopting best practices, and so on.
This webinar offers an overview of initiatives that have been set up in different countries, illustrating the diversity of possible approaches.
Speaker : Amandine Julien, Head of International Relations - IFCE
