Going beyond the Feed vs Food competition: crops and animals together to address food and nutrition security
TOPIC 2021
 
One of the controversial aspects of livestock production is the resource competition for feed and food production that requires a disruptive shift in resourcing animal feeding and in European agriculture. Only 20-25% of annually produced terrestrial agricultural biomass (crops and grasslands) is edible as human food. Thus, animals are very useful to convert the remaining 75% into edible food and manure that is a source of nutrients and carbon for plants and soils. This is basically a virtuous circle. However, in response to increased market demand and economic pressure, some agricultural systems and territories have become increasingly specialized. At the same time, productivity in the agricultural sector has largely increased and mixed farming systems integrating crop and livestock production have strongly declined in many countries or regions. Modern agriculture has developed with livestock and crop production becoming more intensive, and at some places more specialised and spatially separated which has resulted in an imbalance in nutrient flows with negative impact on the environment.
To achieve the conditions required to deliver sustainable farming systems, it is essential to develop science-based management strategies that reduce the current reliance on non-renewable resources and securing the production in an increasingly unpredictable climate. Such solutions focus on sustainable land use and the interconnection of arable and livestock systems as part of a circular and sustainable bio-economy at different scales.
 
3 events were organised in 2021 to discuss this topic:
  • the ATF-EAAP LFS Commission one-day symposium (30 August 2021, Davos, Switzerland)
  • the 11th ATF seminar (18 November 2021 - morning, Brussels, Belgium & remotely)
  • ATF-FEFAC-H2020 projects stakeholder event (18 November 2021 - afternoon, Brussels, Belgium & remotely)
 
These events aimed to contribute to:
  • Engage a dialogue with various stakeholders;
  • Address how research and innovation can support the livestock sector;
  • Provide input to European research and innovation agendas and to public policies to secure Europe’s role as a leading global provider of safe and healthy animal-derived products;
  • Support knowledge development and innovation;
  • Foster ownership by farmers and industries.

        

One-day symposium - EAAP 2021: Mixed crop/livestock systems - do they deliver more resilient food systems?
In 2021, the EAAP Livestock Farming Systems Study Commission and the ATF Special Session have joined into a one-day symposium.
 
Format of the symposium
The symposium would like to engage discussion with farmers, industries, scientists, policy-makers and with the society. Most important findings will be discussed with a panel.
The outcomes of the session will be discussed with a large panel of European stakeholders during the ATF seminar, in Brussels, in November 2021.
 
Aim
This one-day symposium aims to contribute to:
  • Engage a dialogue with various stakeholders;
  • Address how research and innovation can support the livestock sector;
  • Provide input to European research and innovation agendas and to public policies to secure Europe’s role as a leading global provider of safe and healthy animal-derived products;
  • Support knowledge development and innovation;
  • Foster ownership by farmers and industries.
