Beschreibung
This landmark new text charts the latest developments in economic research relevant to farm animal welfare. A range of global experts and key opinion leaders outline the challenges in achieving sustainable livestock production while improving farm profit, climate change and animal welfare, and make policy-relevant recommendations for the future. This is a theoretical yet practical book that examines: - the origins of farm animal welfare, cross-disciplinary interactions and the future of the field; - consumer demand and changing preferences as animal welfare rises up the social agenda; - the impact political organisations such as the EU and WTO have on animal welfare. An important resource for policy makers and animal welfare scientists, economists and clinicians, this book provides a thought-provoking yet evidence-based review for all those interested in quantifying and improving farm animal welfare.
Rezensionen
Overall, this is - and will be for years to come - the go-to source for all things related to animal welfare economics. The index at the back is most helpful when trying to find details of specific subjects, and the value of having all the relevant information handy in one place makes this book an easier, more manageable mine of information than any online search.
[This book] considers important questions at the intersection of economics and welfare, from a European and a farm animal perspective. The 9 chapters of this book provide a thorough overview of the history and current state of economics, welfare science, and European welfare policy. For veterinarians with little training in economics, multiple chapters cover basic economics in a succinct and lucid way. Case studies, such as the economics of switching from sow-farrowing crates to crate-free systems, will be informative for both veterinarians and producers.
