About the Sustainable Livestock Intergroup
Transparency register no.: 454124791580-32
“Sustainable Livestock” is a newly established Intergroup in the European Parliament, officially launched in early 2025. Its first co-chairs, who are also the key supporters of the initiative, are MEPs Alexander Bernhuber (AT, EPP), Maria Grapini (RO, S&D), and Benoît Cassart (BE, Renew).
The Intergroup aims to provide a platform for Members of the European Parliament to discuss both the diversity of existing farming practices and emerging methods and technologies that support and improve animal farming systems. It also seeks to develop informative tools to raise awareness about food production. By taking a holistic approach, the Intergroup will enable MEPs to better assess and balance both the benefits and challenges of the sector. This will help depolarise current debates and pave the way for realistic, science-based/sustainable solutions in animal farming—including enhanced animal welfare.
