The Fédération Nationale Bovine (FNB) is proud to be part of the BovINE project, the very first EU funded project that FNB has been involved in as a project partner.

The BovINE project presents a great opportunity for French farmers to exchange with European colleagues the best practices they use on their farms, and to discover the innovation they could take on board. The four themes the BovINE project focuses on (1. Animal Health & Welfare​, 2. Environmental Sustainability, 3. Production Efficiency & Meat Quality and 4. Socioeconomic Resilience) are also main subjects FNB is already working on in regards to the future of suckler beef production in other institutions (technical institutes, inter-professional organizations, public authorities, etc.).

Jean-Pierre Fleury, the French representative of suckler beef farmers at the European level, presents the project from the FNB point of view in the video below.

Over the coming year, FNB will continue to work with farmers and all partners to ensure the exchange of good practices. Hopefully, current travelling restrictions will lift and allow us to work more closely with all partners at the French local level via face-to-face meetings in different regions. FNB are also responsible for the organization of the BovINE General Assembly event in June, which will be a great event for the French team and for all partners!
