SUMMARY:ISESSAH 2023 conference: Understanding stakeholder behaviour and socio-economic implications of practices and policies of animal health
DESCRIPTION:ISESSAH conference 2023  \nHelsinki\, Finland\, 13th – 15th of June 2023 \nCall for abstracts — Programme — Registration\, accommodation & getting there \nPhoto: Tapio Haaja / Pixabay\nBackground \nSocial\, economic and environmental sustainability of animal production is becoming an increasingly important issue for farmers and other supply chain actors. Outbreaks of exotic animal diseases and presence of production diseases and endemic diseases can severely reduce economic profitability and productivity of farming and cause disruptions in the market. Hence\, disease prevention\, risk management and control measures such as biosecurity and good farming practices\, disease control programs\, containment and eradication of disease outbreaks must be selected to control and/or mitigate animal disease and their negative consequences Various economic and other societal and social-psychological circumstances influence decisions that farmers\, veterinarians\, government authorities and other stakeholders make regarding animal health. \nTherefore\, when suggesting animal disease control programs or animal health promoting programs\, economics and other social sciences should be taken into account. These can contribute to our understanding of what are the most preferred ways to control animal health. New insights and theoretical and methodological advances are needed to better understand the behaviour and choices made by farmers\, veterinarians\, policymakers\, food operators\, consumers and other relevant actors. The International Society for Economics and Social Sciences of Animal Health (ISESSAH) aims to improve animal health and welfare policies\, programme and projects through more nuanced use of concepts and tools available in economics and social science disciplines. The annual conference is a key tool to promote this objective. \nConference theme and programme \nThe 2023 ISESSAH conference will be held 13th – 15th of June 2023 Viikki campus in Helsinki\, Finland (address: Latokartanonkaari 9\, 00790 Helsinki\, Finland). \nThe 2023 ISESSAH conference will be held 13th – 15th of June 2023 Viikki campus in Helsinki\, Finland (address: Latokartanonkaari 9\, 00790 Helsinki\, Finland).

SUMMARY:NJF conference: Resolving Issues in Peatlands and Peat Use in Agriculture and Horticulture
DESCRIPTION:NJF conference: Resolving Issues in Peatlands and Peat Use in Agriculture and Horticulture \n11-12 June 2026\, Seinäjoki\, Finland \nPeatlands and peat are important for Nordic-Baltic agriculture. Organic soils are common in cool\, boreal climates\, and cultivated commonly in countries such as Latvia\, Finland\, Sweden and Denmark. Nordic and Baltic countries produce and use peat as growing media in greenhouses\, for heating energy generation and as bedding material in livestock farming. Peatlands\, however\, contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions of agriculture and energy systems and therefore the society is transitioning away from using peat and peatlands. To enable just transition\, research to find economically viable low-emission land use\, growing media and bedding material alternatives have been initiated. \nNJF is organizing a conference that aims to share the latest information on issues and solutions related to peatlands and peat in agriculture and horticulture. The conference is targeted to researchers and experts of relevant companies and organizations. It will offer a possibility to meet and discuss about the challenges and solutions of phasing out peat in the Nordic-Baltic context. \nThe program will include two invited keynote talks and presentations that will be selected from abstracts submitted to the conference\, and visit to a field pilot site near Seinäjoki. \nCall for abstracts \nThe program will be composed of presentations made by the participants. We invite you to propose a presentation to the conference by submitting an abstract around one of the following topics \n\nAlternatives to peat as bedding materials in animal production and growing media in greenhouses and horticulture\nRewetting peatlands\, paludiculture\nNew insights on climate impacts of organic soils and their mitigation\nEconomic and policy issues\nJust transition: How it can be implemented\, what do farmers and other stakeholders think about it and what are the implications to agriculture?\nOther topics related to the theme of the conference\n\n\nImage by A L.G from Pixabay \nHow to submit an abstract? \nPlease submit your abstract as soon as possible and at the latest by the 30th of May 2026 by using this form. \nAbstracts can be proposed for oral presentations (15 minutes presentation plus 5 minutes for discussion) or for flash presentations (3 minutes (1-3 slides) presentation plus 2 minutes for questions). \nThe extended abstract can be up to 2000 characters and it should explain in brief: Motivation of the study\, objectives\, material and methods\, results and conclusion. Abstracts must be prepared in English. \nAbstracts selection \nAuthors will be informed about the acceptance of their abstract within a week from their submission\, and at the latest by May 31st. \nRegistration and fees \nPlease register to the event by using this form. All presenters must register to the conference. \nParticipation fee of the conference is 100 euros per person. The fee includes lunches\, coffee breaks\, dinner\, site visit and NJF’s membership for year 2026.
