Interactions between intensifying livestock production for food and nutrition security, and increased vulnerability to AMR and zoonoses
The increase in global consumption of animal source food (ASF) (by more than 40kg/person/year in the last 25 years) has driven livestock production systems in many countries towards intensification. This has significant consequences for land use. Identifying how best to navigate the trade-offs of...
