Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Hokkaido Forum 2021

The impact of the livestock industry on global issues such as climate change and population explosion is significant. While there are concerns about the impact of methane gas emissions on global warming, there is also a need to improve productivity in order to provide a protein source for the growing population. In Japan, in addition to labor issues such as the aging of workers, labor shortages, and workload, there are serious operational issues such as health management of livestock, stable supply of quality products, and business pressure due to rising feed prices. The discussion will be from the viewpoints of business companies, researchers, and venture companies involved in the livestock industry.

Not limited to the themes of this session, we will have a program of discussions among researchers, startups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives. For details, please refer to the conference website.

*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.
