RANGELAND STEWARDSHIP & GLOBAL STANDARDS
Join SFA’s CEO, Una Jones, during the first day of plenary sessions on Thursday the 19th as we introduce the highly anticipated session on Rangeland Stewardship & Global Standards. A direct follow-up from last year’s event, the session will provide conference attendees with exciting updates and developments from this past year.
A panel discussion will bring together key partners of the Rangeland Stewardship Council (RSC), showcasing the collaborative and multistakeholder mission of the organisation. The session will cover key topics such as the One Health approach, diverse rangeland commodities, transparency, and a bottom-up strategy.
Concluding the session, the SFA’s Head of Standards, Dr David McElroy, will conduct an informative section where in-person attendees will have the unique opportunity to take part in a short consultation for the Global Rangeland Standard (GRS) – do not miss out on providing you valuable feedback for this new and innovative global standard.
