The International Poultry Welfare Alliance (IPWA) established a partnership with the International Egg Foundation (IEF) at the 2026 International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE).  The objective is to intensify training and support for poultry welfare. The Memorandum of Understanding allows for IPWA to assist the IEF with standards and guides. 

Bruce Dooyema, Chairman of the IEF stated, “Through our partnership with IPWA we can apply proven welfare tools in the field while contributing farmer-led insights that help ensure guidance reflecting real-world conditions.”

Dr. Katy Tarrant, Chair of IPWA stated, “We are honored to support the IEF mission and to learn from the regions where these solutions matter most.”

The Memorandum of Agreement presumes coordination between the organizations to assist field outcomes and identify opportunities to modify training in welfare and application of science to improve the standards of housing and management on a global basis.
