Preview: Against a background of societal expectations over changes in agricultural practice, livestock farming finds itself the target of much criticism related to animal welfare, environmental impacts, and human health issues. While a reduction in the consumption of animal products and support for more sustainable production methods are identified as levers for change, their implementation remains constrained by consumer habits and a difficult general economic situation.

However, this sharing of goals and actions does not always occur, sometimes raising the question of compatibility and tensions between improvements to animal welfare and protecting the environment.
