Vet Sustain and VetSalus were delighted to launch their brand new resource for farm vets in October 2023.
Farming is often cited as a major contributor to climate change through impacts on global warming and the environment. As the global population increases past the 8 billion mark, the role of sustainable farming has never been so important. Farm vets as trusted advisors and advocates are integral to supporting sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Through their wide-reaching influence, farm vets can offer solutions and lead conversations championing a ‘less and better’ philosophy.
But what are the facts? It can be difficult for vets to navigate the complexity and conflicting information regarding this subject. Within the factsheet we outline some of the key considerations to inspire vets when approaching these conversations with farmers, and to act as a starting point towards encouraging a more regenerative mindset.
The factsheet was launched at the 2023 BCVA congress where it was displayed as a poster, presented in the ‘Planning for a more Sustainable Future’ workshop led by Hannah Davies, Vet Sustain's Technical Content Lead, as well as added to delegate bags.
VetSalus and Vet Sustain hope that the fact sheet will help to enable and inspire farm vets when discussing the future of sustainable food production with farmers.
