EUPAHW - Animal welfare and sustainability

Animal welfare and sustainability

Establishing a multidisciplinary scientific network to include Animal Welfare within the scope of livestock sustainability. This includes economics, environmental and social performances.

The objective of this network is to produce foresight and priority reports on Animal Welfare friendly livestock systems, terrestrial and aquatic animals that limit trade-offs and favour synergies with other sustainability dimensions. 

The objectives of this projects are to:

  1. Ensure that the animal welfare (AW) is really improved for the livestock systems promoting AW.
  2. Investigate the impacts of the AW friendly systems on economical, environmental and other social performances.
  3. Identify livestock systems that limit antagonisms and favour synergies (win‐win strategies) between AW improvement and other sustainability criteria
