The Sustainable Farm Animal Breeding and Reproduction Technology Platform (FABRE-TP) has started as an initiative of pro active partners in breeding in 2005, then continued as an EC funded project, and is now in its third phase.
The platform tackles major issues concerning sustainability, animal breeding and reproduction in Europe. Taking into account "what is happening in the developing world".
The Technology Platform is industry led, with strong involvement of many stakeholders. A Vision Paper for the coming 10-25 years has been developed, and was signed by EC Research Commissioner Potočnik. The management of approximately 120 organisations have committed themselves to the FABRE-TP Vision. Based on the Vision, a Strategic Research Agenda and an Implementation Plan have been developed. EC supported this activity by means of a project. The documents are used by the European Commission to set up their vision and research agenda fur the near and long term future. All information can be downloaded from this website.
FABRE-TP is officially recognised by the European Commission,
as one of the two animal based European Technology Platforms.
Since 2009, FABRE-TP continues, as requested by the stakeholders, as an informal platform, funded by a number of the stakeholders: EFFAB, BKTN (formerly Genesis Faraday), INRA, Nofima and Wageningen UR. EAAP is an observer to FABRE TP.
