畜牧业面临着越来越大的压力，需要应对与畜牧产品生产和消费相关的众多可持续性和健康挑战。然而，政治和市场障碍以及环境、社会经济和政治领域相互冲突的世界观和价值观导致了相当大的部门惰性和政府不作为。目前，在这一领域形成观点以及塑造行动（或不行动）的过程尚未得到充分研究。本文介绍了环境世界观、价值观和人口因素对畜牧业未来影响的混合方法探索结果。该方法结合了来自牲畜代表样本的调查和访谈数据（N = 307）。具有较高亲环境、以生态为中心和关系世界观和价值观的受访者青睐更多以行为为导向的解决方案。那些对环境的支持程度较低、以技术为中心的世界观和价值观较高的人倾向于通过技术解决方案来提高生产效率并实现持续的肉类消费模式。人口统计差异和定性数据强调需要认识到叙述中的文化和地理细微差别。这项研究提高了我们对形成观点的过程的理解，从而能够制定更全面的解决方案，在日益两极分化的辩论中承认所有声音。因此，采用更加多元化、相关的方法对于制定可持续畜牧业未来的解决方案至关重要。
The livestock sector is under increasing pressure to respond to numerous sustainability and health challenges related to the production and consumption of livestock products. However, political and market barriers and conflicting worldviews and values across the environmental, socio-economic and political domains have led to considerable sector inertia, and government inaction. The processes that lead to the formulation of perspectives in this space, and that shape action (or inaction), are currently under-researched. This paper presents results of a mixed methods exploration of the influence of environmental worldviews, values, and demographic factors on perspectives towards the future of the livestock sector. The approach combines survey and interview data derived from a sample of livestock representatives (N = 307). Respondents with higher pro-environmental, ecocentric and relational worldviews and values favour more behaviour-oriented solutions. Those with lower pro-environmental and higher techno-centric worldviews and values favour technological solutions to improve the efficiency of production and to enable continued patterns of meat consumption. Demographic variation and qualitative data emphasise the need to recognise cultural and geographic nuance in narratives. This study improves our understanding of the processes that lead to the formulation of perspectives, enabling the development of more holistic solutions that acknowledge all voices in an increasingly polarised debate. Adopting more pluralistic, relational methodologies will therefore be paramount in developing solutions for sustainable livestock futures.
