Livestock production and its use of finite resources is devastating
biodiversity and pushing wildlife to the brink of extinction. This
powerful book examines the massive global impact caused by
intensive livestock production and then explores solutions, ranging
from moving to agroecological farming to reducing consumption of
animal products, including examples of best practice and
innovation, both on land and within the investment and food
industries. Leading international contributors spell out the
problems in terms of planetary limits, climate change, resources,
the massive use of cereals and soy for animal feed, and the direct
impact of industrial farming on the welfare of farmed animals. They
call for an urgent move to a flourishing food system for the sake
of animals, the planet and us. Some offer examples of global good
practice in farming or the power of the investment community to
drive change, and others highlight food business innovation and
exciting developments in protein diversification. Providing a
highly accessible overview of key issues, this book creates a
timely resource for all concerned about the environmental, social
and ethical issues facing food, farming and nature. It will be an
invaluable resource and provide inspiration for students,
professionals, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the
general reader.
