Biodiversity and the livestock sector
Detalles
| The aim of the methodology developed in these guidelines is to introduce a harmonised international approach to assessing the impacts of livestock farming on biodiversity. The livestock sector is one of the main users of natural resources (especially land) and a major contributor to pollution (e.g. causing nutrient losses, increasing greenhouse gases), making it one of the sectors with the greatest impact on biodiversity. At the same time, livestock farming is one of the few sectors that not only has a negative impact on biodiversity, but also a positive one, so it can act on two levers to improve and maximise profits. |
