Dear friends and colleagues

The French branch of WPSA has the great pleasure to invite you to the 26th World Poultry Congress in Paris. After meeting you all on our booth at WPC2016 in Beijing, we are now preparing to welcome you all in Paris for WPC2020.

Agriculture in general, and livestock in particular, are facing major challenges in the near future. The poultry sector has major ressources to meet the expectation of the world population, as long as it can anticipate changes needed for sustainable production systems. Our ambition is that WPC2020 brings a major contribution to these challenges for the benefit of the world population.

Our goal is to prepare an affordable congress to attract a large number of participants from all over the world. We will give special consideration to the Mediterranean and African Poultry Networks, by offering them the possibility of holding specific satellite symposiums and we plan to organise a symposium with FAO. As usual for a WPC, the program will include an exhibition for companies within the Congress Centre and we will offer a Youth program as well as a Young Scientist program. We will plan the scientific program to make it highly interactive and interdisciplinary. Finally, you can expect an attractive social program and excellent food.

OUR VISION FOR WPC2020

The scientific program will be built with WPSA working groups from European Federation and Asia-Pacific Federation. The program will schedule afternoon sessions integrating various approaches to address a complex challenge, such as for instance “health, welfare and breeding” or “nutrition, efficiency and environmental impact” or “technology for new Poultry food product”.

Students are welcome at WPC2020, they are our future! The Youth program will offer the opportunity to brainstorm about poultry science, to show the specific features of the poultry industry, to demonstrate its potential and to strengthen its attractiveness for young students.

We will prepare an attractive social program based on the French historical and gastronomic culture to foster friendly relationships between attendees, completing one of the main features of WPSA.

THE FRENCH POULTRY SECTOR AT A GLANCE

In Europe, France ranks first for egg production, and second for poultry meat production. It is hosting major companies, at all levels of the poultry production chain, selection, multiplication, feed and premix , egg and meat industries. Many of these companies are global players in the field. The French poultry sector exhibits 3 unique features which will be illustrated throughout the WPC, and more particularly for the youth program and technical excursions.
