On 23-25 April 2012, researchers and development actors from the pig sectors of Southeast Asia and East Africa gathered in Hanoi, Vietnam for an international South-South symposium on managing risk in emerging pork markets. The meeting also discussed new developments in managing food safety and biosecurity in the informal pig sector.
The workshop, organized by the International Livestock Research Institute in conjunction with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, saw government ministry representatives, scientists and specialists in pig health, animal health, public health, economics and ecology, discuss their research on public health innovations and how they can be best implemented through the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish and the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health.
