"The question reads 'Does the Commission coordinate with EU Member States and other international institutions on the problem of industrialisation of animal husbandry' and the answer is yes. The Commission participates actively in the Livestock Environment and Development initiative. The members of the steering committee here are Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, the UK, the USA, Costa Rica, EFAT, the World Bank, the FAO, Senegal, India, China and Kenya. The initiative's targets are the protection and enhancement of natural resources as affected by livestock production while alleviating poverty. Earlier work under this initiative has identified on a global scale the consequences of increased pressure on grazing and mixing farming systems, and the dangers of the shift to industrial modes of production. It has highlighted the close and complex interaction between government policies and the environmental impact of livestock production, and identified a large number of technologies which are available to mitigate the negative effects in all different production modes, provided the appropriate policy framework is in place. So this is something we are giving quite some attention to. The problem is that it is very big and it will probably be growing, but we are participating actively in the best international efforts to do something meaningful."@en1
