The Gateway is a single access point for a wide range of information related to the welfare of farm animals.
A participatory platform to retrieve and submit information, as well as to engage in commonly developed projects and thematic discussions.
FAO has developed the Gateway in collaboration with key international partners in animal welfare: the European Commission (EC), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), Compassion In World Farming, the Latin American Poultry Association (ALA), Humane Society International (HSI), the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the Brooke, the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), the International Dairy Federation (IDF), the International Federation of Agriculture Producers (IFAP) and the World Veterinary Association (WVA).
A press release on the Gateway to Farm Animal Welfare has been posted on FAO website (www.fao.org ). The Gateway is accessible also from the website of FAO Agriculture and Consumer Protection Department ( www.fao.org/ag/portal/index_en/en/ ) and from the one of the Animal Production and Heath Division ( www.fao.org/ag/aga.html ).
