Honouring World Poultry Day: Fostering Sustainable Innovation by Shenequa Williams
Every year on May 10th, the world observes World Poultry Day to honour the vital role that chickens play in feeding people and economies all over the world. This day was created by the World’s Poultry Science Association (WPSA) to recognize the significant contributions poultry make to livelihoods and food security.
The theme for this year is “Embracing Innovation for Sustainable Poultry Production,” which emphasizes how urgent it is for the sector to adopt innovative methods and technologies to guarantee a sustainable and ecologically conscious future. Innovation is essential for overcoming obstacles and optimizing the potential of poultry farming, from advances in biosecurity to precision nutrition.
With its roots in the memory of WPSA’s founding father, Professor William James, World Poultry Day has grown into an international event that brings together participants from all areas of the poultry industry. It offers a chance to take stock of previous successes, deal with current issues, and map out a path for a more just and sustainable future for poultry.
On this World Poultry Day, let’s reaffirm our dedication to promoting sustainability, innovation, and teamwork in the poultry sector. Together, we can create a future where the production of poultry coexists peacefully with the environment, ensuring future generations’ access to food and prosperity. Happy World Poultry Day!
