AGRICULTURAL POLICY MUST CONSIDER TRADE-OFFS

Different regions around the world face different problems, and each needs its own solution about the best way to raise livestock. The UN FAO recommends that low-income, developing nations focus more on helping their small farmers earn a living raising livestock and increasing access to affordable food for local citizens. As income increases and the percentage of the nation’s income that comes from raising livestock decreases, priorities should shift to improving food safety and reducing the environmental impacts of raising animals.
