Abstract/Description
The total number of livestock worldwide
is estimated at 17 billion. Around two thirds
- 5 billion hectares - of the world’s
total agricultural area is used to feed these
animals, including 3.4 billion hectares of
grazing land. Much of this land has been
severely degraded by overgrazing and
unsustainable production.
