Innovation born of Integration : Moving towards sustainable production of animal-source food

Abstract

Livestock production stands at a critical crossroad. Its environmental impact is more severe and more visible because of population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization. Production with respect for the welfare of animals is an important issue in Europe and, increasingly, across the world. Can we produce animal-source food while respecting the environment, the animal and the different actors in the production chain? In this lecture, I will address the importance of "integration" to reveal new directions for the production and consumption of animal-source food
