Increased output has been achieved mainly through the intensification of production systems and througha shift towards poultry and pigs with much slower expansion of beef production; dairying too has increased in both scale and intensification. The industrialisation of livestock production systems, characterized by high animal densities and limited land base for the recycling of manure and other waste in crop agriculture, are associated with substantial environmental externalities and requireparticular attention to biosecurity, animal disease emergence and control as well as to animal welfare and domestic animal diversity management. Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and good practices in assessing, managing and communicating risks along the entire food chain are required. Such practices need to respect conditions of economic, environmental and social sustainability and to be geared...
