21/02/14: Friday video: Animal Feed vs. Human Food: Challenges and opportunities in sustaining animal agriculture

This video by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) provides science-based information about the "feed versus food" issue including:

 - Global animal agriculture provides safe, affordable, nutrient-dense foodstuffs that support human health and well-being as part of a balanced diet as well as many by-products that benefit humans.

 - The global livestock industry faces considerable challenges as the population grows, and demands for more food must be aligned with concerns about the environment, economy, and sustainability. Many do not realize the productivity gains made by modern practices, by-product feeds, and technology.

 - Livestock production is important in the economic and social sustainability of developed and developing countries alike.
