Livestock consulting

As one of the oldest and most widely practiced methods of agriculture, livestock farming is foundational to global food systems. By providing a rich source of protein and nutrient-dense calories, livestock farming contributes heavily to global food security and poverty reduction. Beyond food production, livestock provides numerous commodities such as wool, leather, milk, and even labour.

The livestock industry is a key economic, cultural, and social driver. According to the FAO, the industry contributes to roughly 40% of agricultural output in developed countries and about 20% in developing ones, supporting the livelihoods of up to 1.3 billion people around the world. Global demand for meat is forecasted to rise by 15% in the next decade, as growing populations require access to healthy and nutrient-rich food sources. Despite this, there are growing concerns over the sustainability and ethics of the livestock industry, with consumers being increasingly motivated by animal welfare on farms, as well as the overall environmental impact of intensive industrialised farming practices.
