How sustainable farms in Italy are improving animal welfare and our food systems

By: Claudio Rosmino

In this episode of 'Farm to Fork,' we look at examples of sustainable farming in Europe. More than 40 million tonnes of meat is produced in the continent each year for human consumption. As a result, animals can pay a tough price in the system to meet demand - with intensive farming conditions making livestock more prone to diseases.

At least 20% of livestock production is lost globally, due to diseases developed, according to the World Organisation for Animal Health.  The 'Farm to Fork' strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal, aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally friendly.
