本文报告了2009年9月9日至10日在法国克莱蒙费朗(INRA-Theix, France)举行的“不断变化的世界中的动物生产”国际研讨会的成果,来自15个不同国家的35名与会者参加了该研讨会。会议的主要目标是讨论畜牧业面临的主要挑战:畜牧业对环境的影响和在全球气候变化中的作用;平衡对增加动物产品生产的需求与更低的足迹,并在消费者的产品质量方面满足社会需求。五个关键讲座介绍了畜牧业的主要驱动因素:人口增长、环境影响、缓解和适应选择、生产效率和动物产品质量。重点讲座强调了致力于提高食品质量和安全的研究需求和战略与致力于减少反刍牲畜生产对环境影响的战略之间的协同作用。讲座结束后,成立了两个讨论小组,讨论与减少环境足迹和提高产品质量有关的主要研究重点。产品质量工作组的主要意见是,现有知识没有得到充分应用,发展中国家和发达国家在质量方面的优先事项不同,作为评估食品质量的一个组成部分,需要建立一个考虑到碳足迹、水和能源使用的环境指数。环境问题工作组内部的讨论强调了在减缓领域注重全生命周期分析的重要性,而适应战略应以在不同生产系统下选择有利可图的动物为基础。总之,我们需要从根本上改变我们的生产系统设计,以帮助确保满足目前对动物产品的需求,同时不损害子孙后代。
This paper reports the outcomes from an International Workshop on ‘Animal Production in a Changing World’ held in Clermont-Ferrand (INRA-Theix, France) on 9–10 September 2009 in which 35 participants from 15 different countries participated. The main objective was to discuss the main challenges within the livestock sector: its environmental impact and role in global climate change; balancing the need for increased production of animal products coupled with a lower footprint and addressing societal needs in terms of product quality for the consumer. Five key lectures presented the main drivers of animal agriculture: population growth, environmental impact, mitigation and adaptation options, efficiency of production and quality of animal products. The key lectures highlighted the synergies between research needs and strategies dedicated to improving food quality and safety and those devoted to decreasing the environmental impact of ruminant livestock production. After the lectures two discussion groups were set up to discuss the main research priorities in relation to reducing environmental footprint and improving product quality. The main remarks from the group working on product quality were that the existing knowledge is not fully applied, the priorities with regards to quality differ between developing and developed countries and that, as one component in assessing food quality, an environmental index needs to be established taking into account carbon footprint, water and energy use. The discussion within the group working on environmental issues highlighted the importance of focusing on whole life cycle analysis in the mitigation area, while the adaptation strategy should be based on selection for profitable animals under different production systems. In summary, a fundamental shift in designing our production systems is required to help ensure present needs for animal products are met without compromising future generations.
