MONITORING PUBLIC ATTITUDES TO LIVESTOCK INDUSTRIES AND LIVESTOCK WELFARE
This large project, facilitated by the National Primary Industries Animal Welfare RD&E Strategy (NAWRDES) and funded by AgriFutures, Australian Pork Limited, Australian Meat Processor Corporation, Livecorp and Meat and Livestock Australia will develop and refine a tool to monitor public perceptions and sources of knowledge in relation to the livestock industries and livestock welfare over time. This tool will identify trends in community attitudes and behaviour and will assist in the development of communication strategies designed to inform the community on welfare related developments in the livestock industries. The project concluded in 2019 and results will be communicated at the NAWRDES Forum in November 2019.
