Question: Sustainability of livestock production systems
Answer: This study analysed peer-reviewed literature comparing conventional and organic livestock production
systems on sustainability indicators within the topics of economy, productivity, environment, animal
welfare and public health. For many indicators, insufficient data were found to draw any conclusions
on a difference. The strong points of both conventional and organic livestock production systems were
used to formulate lessons learned for sustainable livestock production systems. As sustainability
indicators often interact with other sustainability indicators in opposing directions, sustainable
livestock production should be approached as a multi-criteria problem optimising a balanced
combination of sustainability indicators in all topics.
