Resumen
Descripción
There is a need for widely recognized frameworks for the assessment of the performances of feed and livestock systems and of livestock products to mitigate negative impacts on water resources.
The goal of the methodology developed in these guidelines is to introduce a harmonized international approach for assessing livestock production systems
and supply chains. This work aimed at building consensus for water use assessment, in order to report blue water scarcity footprints and to identify actions for
improvement in water management.
The document is relevant for feed and livestock production systems, production and processing of livestock products (cradle-to-gate). It addresses all livestock production systems and livestock species considered in existing LEAP guidelines: poultry, pigs, small ruminants, and large ruminants supply chains.
