Sustainable Livestock Production in Alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals

The livestock sector is a key component of the global food system, contributing to food security, poverty reduction, and agricultural development. It accounts for about 40% of the global agricultural output and supports the livelihoods of nearly 1.3 billion people. However, increasing population growth and rising demand for animal protein have intensified pressure on livestock production systems. Sustainable livestock production aims to meet this growing demand while minimizing environmental, social, and economic impacts. Sustainability involves balancing environmental protection, social well-being, and economic profitability to ensure that present needs are met without compromising future generations. Achieving this balance is essential for the long-term viability of the livestock sector.
