"We all would agree with the importance of the young generation championing animal welfare. But where shall we start? Training young leaders in Asia undoubtedly is a critical step forward to answer that question. I was delighted to be part of the IFAWF 2020 sharing our experiences at the Good Food Fund in how to contextualize the issue within the food systems narrative so as to make it more accessible to all. I found the fellows really bright, engaging, highly motivated and the thought that the organizers and these young people of such high calibre will continue to lead the cause and reduce the sufferings of farmed animals means everything to us."

"中国在许多方面与西方国家都存在重大差异，不只是农业的历史发展的独特轨迹，还包括现在的政治制度与社会结构，也包括大众认知与思维方式，这要求我们在推进动物福利上充分考虑这些不同可能意味着什么。IFAWF的年轻人已经开始意识到严肃对待这些差异的重要性，这让我感到非常欣慰。"

"I really appreciate that IFAWF provides me with the opportunity to network with other researchers in the field of farm animal welfare in China. It expands the discussion to different species in different geographies, which deepens my understanding of the challenges and opportunities of improving FAW in the industry. More importantly, it creates a community where we all can support each other with resources and problem-solving strategies. IFAWF is an incubator of future animal welfare scientists who will contribute to the improvement of FAW in China with innovative and localised solutions."

"IFAWF brings a great opportunity for the AW community in China to communicate effectively, especially for young fellows to understand overall challenges in AW as well as practical solutions to them. This program is structured and systematic. It is encouraging to see the devotion and passion of the next generation, who will be the major strength in the development of a sustainable and regenerative agricultural system."
