2023 ERBS Annual Event

The member only 2023 ERBS Annual Event, hosted in partnership with Bord Bia, The Irish Food Board, will take place on 3rd and 4th October in Dublin, Ireland.

In line with ERBS’ objective to work collaboratively with other organisations committed to continuously improve the sustainability of European beef production, this year’s event will be focused on “Enhancing Beef Sustainability through Research and Technology”.

This theme will form the basis for an intimate, inspiring and interactive two-day event incorporating field visits, keynote speakers, member case studies and interactive workshops. The event promises to be a great opportunity for members to come together and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the European beef industry, to learn and form solution-building partnerships, and to shape the agenda of the ERBS going forward.

Engaging stakeholders from across the European beef sector, the agenda for 3rd October includes farm visits to some of the leaders in beef farming sustainability in Ireland. Members will benefit from a unique opportunity to get out in the field and engage directly with farmers as they share valuable insights on critical sustainability topics including water quality, animal breeding, feed additives, anaerobic digestion, and climate action.

The second day of the event will be conference based, taking place at Bord Bia’s newly refurbished, state of the art headquarters in Dublin. Members will benefit from an exclusive presentation from the Bord Bia Insights Team covering a round-up of their latest research, including presentations focusing on Carbon & the Consumer and Shopper Attitudes in a Cost-of-Living Crisis, as well as an update from each Platform in-country focusing on progress made towards achieving the aligned outcomes targets.
