Agenda ONekin!

In the context of climate change, measurement of the use of animal resources in all its components is a key issue. It includes the use of animal products for human food consumption but also many other uses: fibre, feed, energy, manure for fertilisation, biodiversity and fire management, enhanced nutrition, building insulation, medical intervention, drug production, as well as culture and vibrant rural communities.All these uses, as well as food, contribute to the closing of the biological cycle, and are key points to reduce waste and valorise the contribution of animal production to the circular bioeconomy. Some of them, like manure, fibre, and drug production, are alternatives to the use of fossil resources, and contribute significantly to improving the climate balance of animal production.
