For millenia, draft animals played a key role in the survival of many cultures. Even today, draft
animals still secure the livelihood of millions of people around the globe. Be it in transportation,
agriculture or forestry: draft animals can offer sustainable, ecofriendly and economically valuable
ways of land-use. Nevertheless, there are a lot of challenges, ranging from the pressure of hight
profit markets or politics to animal welfare, breeding and harnessing. The total number of draft
animals is universally declining. In 2021, our international and virtual conference will seek to address
these challenges.
Experts from around the world will discuss the history, preservation, education and future of draft
animals.
