Fair, inclusive and sustainable food systems - International Poultry Council - IPC

For fair, inclusive and sustainable food systems based on productive stakeholder relationships

The International Poultry Council is the unified voice of the global poultry sector.

Our openness and transparency are grounded in the expertise of those working within our industry. Their knowledge, experience, and commitment to high performance are the vehicle driving poultry production forward, step by step.

IPC aims to take the contributions that define our sector and share in them in global forums, advocating for poultry’s role in our wider food system.

Poultry is in a unique position to demonstrate leadership within our global food system. In our ability to produce safe, affordable, and nutritious food at scale, we offer real solutions to pressing challenges.

We have an opportunity and, more importantly, a responsibility, to communicate the social, economic, and cultural value of the poultry sector in international settings.
