Upcoming Trade Shows Hannover, Germany for Livestock & Poultry

Hannover sets the stage for revolutionary advancements in the livestock industry as EuroTier, the premier international trade fair for professional animal farming and livestock management, takes center stage in the city. Hannover’s livestock and poultry industry receives the chance to step into the limelight in a significant way that leads to profitable international deals. EuroTier is the best platform to showcase cutting-edge developments and address the various challenges the sector has to face in order to be profitable. The 2022 edition of EuroTier placed climate protection and sustainability at the forefront of its programming. A pivotal theme is the reduction of greenhouse gases with a focus on efficiency, revolutionary animal housing concepts and adapted feeding methods. Farmers are key players in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as they have the most to contribute to the efforts to limit climate change. Sustainable agricultural practices, including seed and innovative crop protection agents, digital farming solutions and efficient fertilizer management, are bundled under the term ‘carbon farming.’ Soil management plays a crucial role, acting as a reservoir for carbon when handled sustainably. While CO2 reduction dominates conversations, EuroTier’s discussions also circle to methane (CH4), the second most significant driver of global warming. This gas, with a greenhouse effect 25 times higher than carbon dioxide, poses a critical challenge to climate goals. A recent study by McKinsey & Company, in collaboration with the Woodwell Climate Research Center, only underscores the urgency of tackling methane emissions. The exponential increase, particularly from the growing global ruminant population, poses challenges for dairy cattle, sheep and goats’ rearing and husbandry in the future. EuroTier will continue these conversations in its upcoming editions by bringing in more experts and featuring transformative solutions by outlining more sustainable practices and highlighting the work done by startups and innovation companies.
