Integrating animal welfare as an essential policy concern across our food systems can significantly contribute to preserving biodiversity and regenerating the world\u2019s ecosystems. By transitioning to what should be a reduced animal production system with high animal welfare systems that are integrated within ecosystems, we can support climate and biodiversity goals. Agroecological approaches can work in harmony with animals and their roles within natural processes, supporting ecosystem services such as pollination, temperature regulation, and carbon storage. By primarily relying on animal feed grown in integrated crop-livestock farms, these systems can further reduce the impetus for land-use change and minimise reliance on synthetic fertilisers, which are high emitters of greenhouse gases. Additionally, reducing the use of fertilisers lowers the risk of nutrient pollution, which is vital for maintaining soil and water quality. However, such systems are only sustainable<\/a> at significantly reduced numbers of animals farmed by implementing measures as those outlined in intervention area 3. <\/p>\n\n\n

This measure aligns with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, in particular Target 10, which aims to enhance biodiversity and sustainability in agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, and forestry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
