FAO survey on standards, codes and guidelines in the livestock sector
14 Sept 2011... Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Dear all,
In view of the various private voluntary standards related to livestock production, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is undertaking a study on private voluntary standards, codes of conduct, and guidelines in the livestock sector, as a follow-up to an exploratory survey undertaken last year.
If your organization is a primary creator, enforcer, certifier, regulator, or follower of private voluntary standards in the livestock sector, we kindly request that you please take a survey which will only take 15-20 minutes to complete and can be found at the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/95QWDJV In case you have multiple roles in the standard value chain, e.g. as a creator of one standard and a follower of another, we invite you to take the survey multiple times.
We also kindly request that you please forward this survey to any other members of the livestock value chain that create, enforce, certify, regulate, or follow private voluntary standards.
Your help is greatly appreciated as the results of this survey will help to better understand the structure and impact of private voluntary standards in the livestock sector and to help the FAO enhance stakeholder inclusion in the livestock sector value chain. FAO treats surveys confidentially and only publishes aggregate results.
Please feel free to contact Irene.Hoffmann@fao.org me or Claire.Wandro@fao.org if you have any questions or concerns. We apologize for any possible cross-posting.
Thank you in advance for your help and kind regards,
Daniela
