Our September Conference showcased our research findings and recommendations to a wide international audience across policy and practice. In addition, we welcomed keynote contributions from Martyn Jeggo (Australian Animal Health Laboratory), Katinka de Balogh (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) and Andrew Stirling (University of Sussex) who gave valuable multidimensional and international input across our programme for the day.
