Lisa Marijke VAN DEN BERG

In my bachelor Health and Society at Wageningen University, I developed an interest in healthy and sustainable food systems. Therefore, I started a double master in Communication, Health & Life Sciences and Organic Agriculture. At this moment, I am finishing my research internship at Teagasc in Ireland and in June I will start my internship at INRAE funded by CLAND. The objective of this internship is to investigate the network of livestock transport between countries by truck or by boat. In the next months, I will perform two main activities. The first activity consists of a literature review in order to understand the main drivers (e.g. environmental social, economic or political) of living animals transported across country borders, as well as related issues, like animal welfare and pollution. The second activity consists of making an inventory of the data available for quantifying the phenomenon.
