Globally, nearly 70 billion animals are farmed annually for meat,
milk and eggs. Two-thirds of these are farmed intensively. The
views held by food companies on animal stewardship, and the
management practices and processes that they adopt are, therefore,
of critical importance in determining the welfare of these animals.
Yet, despite the scale of the food industry's impact, farm animal
welfare remains a relatively immature management issue. There is a
lack of consensus around the specific responsibilities companies
have for farm animal welfare, and around how companies should treat
the animals in their or in their suppliers' care. This book, The
Business of Farm Animal Welfare, provides an extensive,
authoritative analysis of current corporate practice on farm animal
welfare. It critically reviews and assesses the ethical and
business case for action. Through a series of practitioner
case-studies, it describes how companies have addressed farm animal
welfare in their operations and supply chains. It analyses the key
barriers to companies adopting higher standards of farm animal
welfare, and offers a series of practical recommendations to
companies, consumers and policy makers on the role that they might
play in raising farm animal welfare standards across the food
industry. As the first comprehensive account of business and farm
animal welfare, this book is an essential resource for researchers,
practitioners and general readers looking to understand and
influence corporate practice on farm animal welfare.
