This edited volume provides an innovative perspective on the future of food systems. The contributors analyse relevant issues for a sustainable and responsible food consumption and cover fundamental steps for a broader approach to the sustainability of meat-based products. The book presents several issues and solutions to engage food firms in a measurable ecological transition. Topics discussed include not only the pedagogical perspective on sustainable food consumption, the evolution of (meat-based) food production systems and the animal welfare perspective, but also the adaptation of firm’s strategies to the sustainable transition, the effects of climate change on agri-food firms’ governance structures and the evolution of consumers perceptions on meat-based products and the role of CSR labels. This book targets managers and entrepreneurs who work in the meat industry and are seeking to improve their socio-environmental performance and governance, accountants that works at the production of sustainability reports for food companies, researchers working at the cutting edge of the food and environmental fields, professionals working in the meat industry and researchers interested in the investigation of novelties in European food regulation.

Environmental Impact of Agro-Food Industry and Food Consumption covers trends associated with the impact of food production on the environment using lifecycle analysis and the standard methods used to estimate the food industry’s environmental impact. The book discusses city-scale actions to estimate the environmental impact of food systems, including the meat chain, feeding crops to farmed fish, the confectionary industry, agriculture, tea processing, cheese production, the dairy industry, cold chain, and ice cream production. Food waste and consumption in hospitality and global diets round out these interesting discussions. Written for food scientists, technologists, engineers, chemists, governmental regulatory bodies, environmentalists, environmental technologists, environmental engineers, researchers, academics and professionals working in the food industry, this book is an essential resource on sustainability in the food industry. Addresses all levels of the food chain Provides solutions for the food industry to estimate and reduce environmental impact Assists members of the food industry in optimizing their current performance and reducing their environmental footprint

The aim of this thesis was to develop an approach to evaluate breeding strategies for feed efficiency in pigs to identify mitigating solutions for environment and economy. A life cycle environmental assessment model (LCA) and a bio-economic model were developed at the individual level. It enabled to assess varieties of feed efficiency scenarios on an individual basis. The models were applied to assess the impacts of selection for feed efficiency alone or combined with diet optimisation as a strategy to achieve overall farm feed efficiency. Data from two pig lines selected for feed efficiency based on residual feed intake (RFI), showing genetically contrasted feed efficiency, were used. A multiple objective diet optimisation was developed using genetic line nutritional requirements as constraints, and minimising a score combining environmental impacts and/or cost. The consistency of the models was obtained from considering net energy as the core linkage between line requirements, ingredients dietary composition, price, and environmental impacts. The individual performance traits in response to new optimised diets for each line were simulated with the InraPorc® pig growth simulation software. For a least cost, a least environmental impacts, and a joint economic-environment diets, these performances were used as inputs to the LCA and bio-economic models. The individual economic and environment assessments showed that selection for improved feed efficiency in pigs increases the profitability by 23.4% and reduces the environmental footprint by 7%. Selection for feed efficiency combined with diet optimisation even enhanced these economic and environmental improvements through restoring part of the advantages of selection that did not emerge due to feeding the lines the same diet. Thus, for increased pig sustainability, a selection for feed efficiency should be combined to diet optimisation including environmental constraints. However, feeding less efficient pigs an optimised diet strongly reduced the genetic differences and alleviated most of the economic and environmental burdens. Finally, the assessment at the individual level gave access to the covariances between the performance traits and the environmental impacts and profit. High correlations of feed conversion ratio with environmental impacts and profit in both lines confirmed the importance of feed efficiency as a lever for the sustainability of pig production, and the moderate correlations with RFI pointed this trait as a potential lever to improve environmental impacts with limited correlated effects on other production traits. These results and tools will contribute to move from breeding goals essentially based on economic objectives to more holistic breeding goals, to contribute to increased sustainability in pig production.

This book highlights the latest findings and techniques related to nutrition and feed efficiency in animal agriculture. It addresses the key challenges facing the nutrition industry to achieve high animal productivity with minimal environmental impact. The concept of smart nutrition involves the use of smart technologies in the feeding and management of livestock. The first chapters focus on advances in biological fields such as molecular agriculture and genotype selection, as well as technologies that enhance or enable the collection of relevant information. The next section highlights applications of smart nutrition in a variety of livestock systems, ranging from intensive indoor housing of broilers and pigs to extensive outdoor housing of cattle and sheep, and marine fish farms. Finally, because of the worldwide attention to this issue, the authors address the environmental consequences. This work, which takes a serious look at how nutrition can be used to improve sustainability in animal agriculture, is a key literature for readers in animal and veterinary sciences, the food industry, sustainability research, and agricultural engineering.

Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.

This volume compiles state-of-the-art scientific knowledge on the technologies that are used to quantify and reduce the environmental impact of livestock production in the cattle, pig and poultry industries. It makes a serious statement about how such technology can contribute to the sustainability of the livestock industry in the future. As the global livestock sector is growing, modern farm animal production is increasingly regarded as a source of solid, liquid, gaseous and dust emissions, which can be both nuisance and environmentally harmful. In light of hardening regulations and social pressure, there is increasing interest in scientific research on air pollution and emissions from livestock operations. The present chapters focus on methodology improvement, harmonization of measurements, and modeling aspects. Key aspects, such as renewable energy sources, nutritional approaches to reduce enteric methane emissions, technical options for manure management, and the use of sensors, are covered. By sharing good practices, this book is a valuable reference for a diverse readership. Experts across the veterinary and animal sciences, agricultural engineering, the food industry and sustainability research will benefit from the findings.
