Sustainable Agriculture >> Sustainable Food Animal Production
Sustainable food animal production includes rotational pasture feeding, integration of crop and animal production, use of organic feed crops, responsible use of antibiotics and abstention from hormone use. This system of production helps to conserve natural resources and promote animal and plant biodiversity, while offering meat and dairy products of superior quality and nutritional value.
