On 18 July 2024, the public-private research partnership Animal Task Force published an updated Vision Paper for a sustainable livestock sector in Europe. It presents the role of R&I and paths for progress to up-scale the contribution of a diverse set of European livestock farming systems in providing nutritious, safe, and healthy animal products and a range of goods and services fitting the numerous societal demands while remaining within the planetary boundaries. The Vision Paper stresses the balance in impacts of livestock farming, which are both positive and negative, and calls for investments in R&D to set the sector on a path of further progress.
