This topic explores the interactions between intensifying livestock and aquaculture production for food and nutrition security, and a) increased vulnerability to antimicrobial resistance and zoonoses; b) land use change. Discussions will be framed around these key questions:

  • How can we improve both human and animal health and welfare while sustainably improving farm productivity?
  • How can we improve land use management while sustainably meeting the increased demand for animal source foods?
  • What are the key trade-offs?
  • What are the implications for the research agenda?
