As a unique but vital component of this project, we are undertaking simultaneous research to better understand how international initiatives can support stakeholders to improve animal welfare across cultures. By better understanding the landscape where it applies to animal welfare in each country, and better understanding the key stakeholders making decisions at critical moments of welfare (such as slaughter, during transport, and during farming), we can aid in the creation of initiatives that are more applicable, more engaging and therefore more likely to make real world differences.
