The dilemma of livestock and the environment

The dilemma of livestock and the environment

One of the greatest challenges facing mankind today is to satisfy the nutritional needs of the growing world population while at the same time preserving resources such as land, water, air and biodiversity. Livestock are a crucial element in this balancing process. Demand for livestock products is growing and livestock are, through their multiple functions, a cornerstone of most rural populations world-wide. Livestock occupy 60% of the world's land area and therefore interact, sometimes negatively, with a large part of the world's natural resources. To develop one without destroying the other was the central focus of an international conference, held in June 1997 and organised by World Bank, FAO and IAC. The proceedings of this conference contain the papers presented, and the conclusions and recommendations of the conference workshops. Spanish and French texts of the recommendations are included.
