We are delighted to announce that Lucy Siegle, Environmental Journalist and broadcaster, and a familiar face on prime time TV, will be hosting our Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards on Wednesday 28th June, in London.
To mark 10 years since the launch of our Good Egg Awards, we will begin this year's event with an afternoon of leading industry speakers, showcasing insights on farm animal welfare from around the globe and celebrating corporate progress on topics such as the global cage-free movement.
The afternoon will continue with a panel of expert speakers, including Jessi Baker (Founder and CEO of Provenance), Jenny Lundstrom (DVM, PhD) and Dan Crossley (Executive Director of the Food Ethics Council), who will explore what trends the future might hold for the food industry, such as how technology has the potential to transform transparency in supply chains.
This will be followed by an evening of celebrations as Lucy will join us to present this year’s awards.
