Dear all,
Please find WSPA's comments in the attached document, which focus on the importance of including animal health and welfare - inter alia because enhancing animal health and welfare increases productivity, particularly in systems with current low productivity, thus improving food security and livelihoods for the world’s poorest billion people that depend on livestock for food, fertilizer, transport, income and as social safety net. Moreover, animal health and welfare are important from a public health perspective.
Best regards,
Dirk Verdonk
