Dear Madam/Sir,
European Livestock Voice has the pleasure to invite you to a study tour close to Brussels to visit two typical Wallonian farms in order to discuss concretely the implications that the current proposal on the Industrial Emissions Directive might have on-field.
The two farms to be visited are representative of the agricultural practices of the region and embody the production targeted in the IED directive. The first farm is a pig farm (750 fattening pigs)in the village of Malèves-Sainte-Marie-Wastinnes and the second farm is a grazing beef farm (180 animals) in Yvoir.
You can already pre-register via the link below and more information will be provided in the coming days.
