Evidence-based decisions in livestock systems
Agricultural Science and Agriculture conference by Society of Chemical Industry
Tuesday
About
Explore how evidence can support decisions across livestock production, nutrition, rural economies and land management. The programme connects multi-criteria assessment, life-cycle analysis, system-level modelling, carbon footprints and digital twins, considering environmental, nutritional, economic and social outcomes together.
Sessions examine assessment beyond farm boundaries, scenario modelling, harmonization of on-farm tools, and the translation of complex evidence into practical decisions. Discussion panels address uncertainty, trade-offs, model fitness and implementation. The meeting brings together researchers, farmers, industry, policymakers, advisers and sustainability practitioners.
Tuesday 1 December 2026, Europe/London (GMT): registration at 10:00, keynote at 10:30, sessions through the afternoon, networking at 16:10 and close at 17:00.
