Resumen
Descripción
There are massive pressures on animal production to satisfy the deeply rooted demand for high value animal protein. These pressures are resulting in a major transformation of the livestock sector, from one which is resource-driven (based on available waste and surplus products) to one that looks aggressively for new resources. Surging demand for animal products, a liberalized trade environment, changes in national policies and rapid developments in the area of technology and information bring ab out a whole series of opportunities and risks. These are compounded by shifts in the level of decision-making, away from the centralized nation-state towards both the lower (community) and higher (international) level. The dynamics surrounding the livestock sector call for novel approaches for safeguarding international public goods, now and in future.
