Taking the steps toward sustainable livestock: our multidisciplinary global farm platform journey.
Taking the steps toward sustainable livestock: our multidisciplinary global farm platform journey.
Author(s): BERNDT, A.; MACHADO, R.
Summary: Implications The Global Farm Platform was conceived and established to explore multidisciplinary strategies for optimising the sustainability of ruminant livestock systems around the world. International sustainability issues are common, but the solutions are often region-specific; therefore, our farms, situated across all major agroclimatic zones, are a unique resource worldwide. Each farm is following ?steps to sustainable livestock? to improve their production system(s), thereby developing robust metrics to progress economic, environmental and social viability. The consortium works collaboratively to improve the sustainability of ruminants, which we argue are a vital component of global food systems, delivering both human and planetary health.
