The aim of these Regional Stakeholders’ Communities is to share knowledge and experience in the field of breeding monogastric livestock. Twenty-one partners from eleven European countries work together in this project and want to give to the whole GEroNIMO value chain (animal professionals, researchers, breeding industry, breeders’ representatives, biodiversity conservation organisations, food chain related actors including consumer representatives and decision-makers) the opportunity to exchange questions, ideas and experiences across the borders. This is being done mainly by organizing different activities such as surveys, trainings, webinars, and focus groups throughout the project lifetime.

The creation of these Regional Communities facilitates the implementation of the multi-actor approach ensuring active stakeholders involvement in the work planning and execution, as well as in the transfer of tools, knowledge and recommendations to relevant audiences and decision-makers. Each RSC is composed of a balanced representation of these key actors in designated countries and facilitates dialogue and discussion.

 GEroNIMO Regional Stakeholders Community profiles include:

• Animal professionals (breeders, veterinarians, advisors…)

• Industry

• Policy-makers

• Scientists (Geneticists, Animal scientists, social scientists, ethicists…)

• Biodiversity conservation organizations
