“Sustainable agriculture is the production of food, fiber, or other plant or animal products using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animal welfare. Sustainable farmers and ranchers treat animals with care and respect, implementing livestock husbandry practices that protect animals’ health and wellbeing. Farm animals should not adversely compete with humans for their own sustenance, and food of animal origin should be safe and affordable. Such animals will efficiently convert their feed into food that can be certified as nutritive and safe. This book gathers themes on sustainability that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, that have emerged as the most important in recent years and explores the processes that occur within the components of a sustainable system. It will therefore help all researchers, academicians, farmers, professionals and decision-makers who wish to build safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.”--Back cover
