Agricultural animal husbandry is increasingly being critically examined by consumers and many stakeholders, including livestock keepers. The discussions are situated within the tension of major challenges such as animal welfare, climate change, environmental protection, and economics. This book sheds light on the arguments and enables you to develop your own fact-based opinion on the husbandry of poultry, cattle, and pigs – with implications for your consumption behavior not excluded! Based on ethical, environmental, and economic questions, the author proposes a guiding vision as well as steps towards realizing a socially acceptable form of livestock farming.
