Discussion paper: the role of livestock in food system transformation
Livestock production is more than just producing meat, milk and eggs. It plays multiple roles and holds an intricate position in food systems.

A recently published discussion paper by the Swiss national FAO-Committee, a multistakeholder consultative body nominated by the Swiss Federal Council, discusses the livestock sector as integral part of food systems transformation and proposed a set of recommendations at global and national level.
