Innovative and sustainable supply chains at VIV Europe

102
Inspiration for future-proof business

The role of local food production is essential next to the global supply chains. Global Inspiration | Local Practice is the leitmotif of this edition of VIV Europe, which is the global exhibition & conference program of the animal protein sector for the production & processing of poultry meat, eggs, red meat, fish and dairy.

“A truly inspirational area located at the show entrance will welcome you onsite with 35+ innovative agri-food concepts waiting to be discovered and replicated in the world,” announces Renate Wiendels, Senior Project Manager of VNU Europe, the organizer of VIV Europe. The show serves as the optimal platform for global supply chains, while promoting the importance of bringing back farmers to a more central role. The HubOrange! Inspiration Square provides practical answers to the increasing consumer demand for sustainable food production. “The Round Egg” circular concept and the “World Food Center” are examples of innovations that make food supply chains shorter, future-proof and transparent for all stakeholders involved. We need Glocal Farming to secure fresh food locally.

Innovative services & technologies leading farmers into the future

VIV Europe is by definition the preferred show for the sector innovators to launch their new solutions. 20 Innovations will be highlighted for you in hall 9, whilst many other exhibitors will be disclosing numerous cutting-edge products and services at their booths all around the showground.

This edition presents innovative services and technologies specifically enabling farmers and breeders to improve production, with a focus on the poultry and egg sector. From gender-specific broiler breeder watering systems to automatic farm data collection and precision poultry farming, new pathogen control feed materials, effective lighting recipes systems, and the latest feed ingredients to optimize feed digestibility – these and many more newly released products can ease your struggles with day-to-day operational challenges.
