Dr Laura Webb - Vice Chair, LIFT COST Action

What does positive animal welfare mean to you? What are animal flourishing and animal happiness, and can we achieve these in current farming systems? Our first guest is Dr Laura Webb, Assistant Professor at Wageningen University and Vice Chair of the LIFT COST Action. In this episode, Laura shares insights from her work in using concepts from positive psychology to inform animal welfare, and how working with different species like insects can help us rethink our understanding of other animals.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
