## Resource

A 5-year EU Horizon 2020-funded research project - Pathways - has been running since 2021. It aims to reduce environmental impacts while addressing societal demands for safe, nutritious and affordable meat and dairy products. Over the next two or three months we'll investigate the project and its outcomes across six episodes, and meet some of the academics leading the research. In this programme we'll find out more about the origins of the Pathways project - its objectives and chief priorities. ffinlo Costain is joined by Dr Laurence Smith , Associate Professor in Agricultural Systems at the University of Reading - by Dr Jessica Stokes , Associate Professor in Farm Animal Welfare Science and Policy at the Royal Agricultural University - by Dr Catherine Pfeifer , lead researcher in the FiBL Switzerland Agri-Food Systems Group - and by Dr Nikki Yoxall , the Technical Director at Pasture for Life.
