Anafric proposes a\njoint manifesto of the Spanish livestock-meat sector <\/strong>to support the European\nplatform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Association of Meat Companies, Anafric<\/a>, supports the recently created \u201cEuropean Livestock Voice\u201d<\/a>, a European platform to defend the livestock sector. The president of Anafric, Jos\u00e9 Friguls, says that:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>\u201cWe give all our support to the creation of this platform. This is an unprecedented initiative in the European Union that brings together more than a dozen organizations, united to express the objective reality of a key sector, which is living moments of disinformation and attacks\u201d. <\/p>Jos\u00e9 Friguls, President of Anafric<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of this new platform is to be a source that promotes balanced information<\/strong> to provide real perspective on the impact and socio-economic contribution of the livestock sector. \u201cEuropean Livestock Voice\u201d also seeks to deny false information spread among European public opinion<\/strong> on the practices of the livestock sector in terms of sustainability, animal welfare and quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anafric intends to agree a Spanish joint manifesto to support the European platform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Anafric<\/strong> intends to agree a joint manifesto of the Spanish livestock-meat sector to support the European platform. <\/strong>This document could be made public during the celebration of the Assembly of the European Livestock and Meat Trading Union (<\/strong>UECBV<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong>. Such Assembly will take place in Athens on November 8. The manifesto will also<\/strong> support the role of Clara Eugenia Aguilera Garc\u00eda, the Spanish MEP in charge of defending the livestock sector in the European Parliament<\/strong> along with the MEPs Alexander Bernhuber (AT) and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Decerle (FR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEuropean Livestock Voice\u201d<\/strong> has developed its own information hub<\/strong>, an online portal (https:\/\/meatthefacts.eu\/home<\/a>) reviewing the accuracy of the most frequently made statements about livestock production, consumption and its benefits.<\/strong> Thus, for example, it is denied that the production of 1 kg of beef requires 15,000L of drinking water. <\/strong>In this sense, it is mentioned that the average size for livestock farms in Europe is below 50 hectares<\/strong>. Currently, the European farm model<\/strong>, which also includes the Spanish one, remains family farming. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is false that the production of 1 kg beef requires 15,000L of drinking water”<\/p>European Livestock Voice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This platform highlights that the EU livestock sector is the backbone of the EU\u2019s rural areas<\/strong>. Such sector contributes to the circular approach within the EU bioeconomy,<\/strong> while ensuring a steady and affordable supply for sufficient safe and nutritious food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
