This section contains abstracts and contributions to the series of real workshops which were conducted in four cities in Northern Germany from June to October, 2000 during the world exposition EXPO 2000 at participating institutions of the Research Consortium Sustainable Animal Production.

You may also view the contributions made to the Virtual Conference which was open from October 1999 until December 2000. The virtual dialogue in ten forums was intended as a preparation for and an accompaniment to the subsequent real workshops. Please note that no new registrations or contributions are possible.
