Animal Welfare in Development Cooperation
WTS Online Seminar Series
In November 2020 WTS organized a digital conference to introduce its programme “Animal Welfare in Development Cooperation”. Together with German NGO supporting agricultural projects around the world, we discussed how to include the welfare of farm animals in the projects and thus also to strengthen the situation of small-scale farmers.
As one result of the conference WTS started an online seminar series “How to: Animal Welfare” in order to provide more information to NGO and their local partners on important issues of Animal Welfare and on practical approaches.
