NEGATIVE ASPECTS
The livestock sector has a negative impact on the environment and global human security. ... Deforestation, high water consumption and soil contamination are just some of the many effects of livestock farming on the environment and, as a consequence, on humans and other animals.
DISADVANTAGES
-
The production cycle is longer than in intensive livestock farming, and does not necessarily meet consumer requirements. That is, there may be periods in which there is no production (because it is not the time when the resource can be obtained from the animal), but there is a demand that could be satisfied.
By not focusing on cost reduction, such as intensive farming, their products tend to be more expensive and less price competitive in the market.
The products are not homogeneous, making them less attractive in the market.
It requires large areas of land, and in some cases deforestation is used to dispose of them.
ADVANTAGE
The soil is eroded less, compared to intensive livestock.
Less energy, labor and material resources are required per hectare.
-
According to experts, it allows to obtain higher quality products.
Animals are treated more ethically and have greater well-being. For that reason, they suffer from fewer illnesses and behavior problems.
Livestock farming is a livestock activity of very ancient origin that consists of the management and exploitation of domesticated animals for production purposes, for their use.
POSITIVE ASPECTS
Use of silvopastoral systems (trees, shade shrubs and food source)
Use of variable pastures, resistant to change of environment such as legumes and brachiarias.
-
-
Conservation of pastures not only to feed cattle but also to capture the gas emitted by cows in production.
