The event underlined the strategic role of animal protein in human nutrition from a scientific, rigorous and informative perspective, as well as the importance of the livestock and meat sector for the Spanish economy and rural areas.

During the opening session, the Secretary General for Agricultural Resources and Food Security at the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Ana Rodr\u00edguez Casta\u00f1o, described the livestock sector as \u201ca true productive powerhouse\u201d and stressed the need to counter narratives that question the production system, highlighting its sustainability and economic viability.<\/p>\n

From a scientific standpoint, several presentations addressed the role of animal protein in human evolution, health and contemporary dietary models, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based debate and the need to distinguish between verified data and widespread myths.<\/p>\n
