Farming and animal welfare
Pubic policy support – Livestock farming and animal welfare
INRAE scientists and their partners talk about the research, expertise, training and joint management activities they carry out together to inform public policies that promote livestock farmers’ quality of life, animals’ health and welfare and the quality of animal products at the heart of livestock farming systems. The aim is also to reduce their negative impacts while ensuring their economic value.

Permanent public policy support systems
Within the research-expertise-public policy support continuum, permanent public policy support systems are dedicated to supporting public policies and have their own permanent resources. INRAE is involved in various ways in the research-expertise-public policy support continuum.
