The future role of livestock in global food systems is a hotly contested topic. On the one hand, the growth of livestock production globally, and the scale of associated land and other resource use, contribute to global climate and nature challenges. On the other hand, livestock production, and consumption of livestock-sourced foods, make significant contributions to lives and livelihoods globally.
The 2025 symposium will highlight the work of the Division of Global Agriculture and Food Systems at the University of Edinburgh’s Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, other staff and students of the School, and our partners globally, in addressing these challenges.
The Symposium will explore livestock’s role in nutrition and health, nature and climate change mitigation and adaptation, and in livelihoods and a just transition, in a range of contexts.
Posters
Proposals for posters on the Symposium themes are welcome – especially from early career researchers.
Please submit a 250-word abstract for proposed posters by 5pm on Friday 14 March via email.
Confirmation of posters selected for presentation will be made by 24 March.
