International Cattle & Pig Event - with a visit from Nebraska (USA)

The International Cattle & Pig Event will take place on the eve of EuroTier on November 11, 2024, from 18:00 in the Convention Center, Room 2. Titled “Global markets and local frameworks - how pioneering farmers fit the future”, the event explores opportunities as a result of the rising demand globally for animal proteins. Producers in highly efficient regions of the world stand to gain. In parts of Europe, however, the current framework conditions, which includes the Green Deal, may lead to increased efforts towards extensification. What is the situation and how are leading dairy, beef cattle and pig farmers adapting? These and other topics will be discussed by experts from North America and Europe at this year's International Cattle & Pig Event, a prelude to EuroTier.

The Cattle & Pig Event will be opened by Hubertus Paetow, President of the DLG. The keynote speaker is Dr. Jim Pillen, current Governor of the State of Nebraska, USA, and founder and owner of Pillen Family Farms, Inc. Tom Dunne, President of European Dairy Farmers and Gert van Beek, President of European Pig Producers, will be contributing their views to the subsequent panel discussion: “Global markets and local frameworks - how pioneering farmers fit the future”. The closing address will be given by Georg Geucke, Chairman of the Board of the German Livestock Association (Bundesverband Rind und Schwein). Tickets for the event are priced at 49 euros and will be available in the online ticket store from August.

After the speaking session, the Bundesverband Rind und Schwein e. V, the German Livestock Association (BRS) and umbrella organization for the production of cattle and pigs in Germany, will be inviting guests to the adjoining “Agrill” informal gathering. At the joint barbecue event, attendees will have plenty of opportunity to interact with each other while experiencing the barbecue food - prepared on a tractor with a front-loading barbecue.

Inhouse Farming Event 2024: Premiere that promotes knowledge-sharing

On Monday, November 11, at 18:00, the Inhouse Farming Event 2024 will take place for the first time, premiering at the EuroTier venue, in the Convention Center. The theme of the new networking event is "Tackling the elephant in the room: Renewable energies for future farming and food systems". At the gathering, professionals from the emerging sector of indoor farming will meet up with professionals from established energy market for a mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. Together, synergies and new investment opportunities will be identified. The event is aimed at innovative companies from the energy sector and the field of "Controlled Environmental Agriculture" as well as political decision-makers, research and educational institutions and the media. The event is organized by DLG and FarmTechSociety.

International Conference - EU integration and development of livestock production in Moldova and Ukraine

The European perspective of further development is one of the most important political priorities in Moldova and Ukraine. Both countries strive to join the European Union. The preparation process requires adjustments in the agricultural sector and in livestock production in particular. These include not only the implementation of a range of quality and production standards, but also measures for environmental protection, biodiversity protection and traceability. Representatives from politics, agriculture and farming as well as trade associations from both countries will convene on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at EuroTier 2024 in Hanover. Discussions will center on strategies for the direction of animal production, taking European integration into account.

The event is organized by DLG, the German-Ukrainian Agricultural Policy Dialogue and the German-Moldovan Agricultural Policy Dialogue. The title of the conference is: “Eurointegration of the animal production sector - current challenges and prospects for Moldova and Ukraine”.
