The European Union (EU), in a recently announced livestock strategy, aims to make uniform and sustainable livestock farming across all member nations, for a more resilient and competitive industry. Livestock farming in Europe is a €400 billion (£342 billion or $457 billion) industry that largely contributes to global food security and European employment.
On Tuesday, 7 July, the European Commission unveiled its livestock strategy that will aid livestock farmers to face economic, environmental and market challenges. The EU farming reforms focus on five segments: livestock resiliency, global competitiveness, sustainability, versatility, and excellence.
