Une expertise scientifique collective analyse les rôles, impacts et services issus des élevages en Europe
Résumé
Livestock production is of major economic importance and defines rural landscapes in many parts of Europe. It has elicited controversy over the past decades, specifically with regards to its environmental impacts and animal welfare in industrial systems. It is therefore important to review scientific knowledge on the roles, impacts, and economic, or social-associated with European livestock production systems (i.e., cattle, small ruminants, pigs, and poultry). First, we addressed each effect category individually; then, we identified bundles of services associated with livestock systems across different European livestock areas. In each area, interactions between impacts and services can be used to identify the trade-offs and options for different systems, which will enhance their ability to cope with future challenges.
