Restructuring the Egg Supply Chain in Austria

A new egg production model in Austria is significantly reducing carbon emissions, strengthening protein production within the European Union, and decreasing reliance on imported soy, through the reformulation of laying hens' feed with local ingredients instead of soy. The initiative, supported by government policies and collaboration between farmers and companies, is being presented as a replicable example in other European countries, addressing environmental concerns and the need to improve food security. The expectation is that this practice will inspire other agricultural sectors to adopt similar methods for a greener and more self-sufficient future in the EU.
