Dear all,
Happy Holidays and attached are some interesting documents which you can read over the holidays (see links below and attached paper).  Thanks to Greg  Leroy from our livestock division for sharing the crossbreeding article which I think is interesting for livestock experts all over the globe, especially in North Africa.

Mes excuses que les documents sont tous en anglais!  Si vous intéressez, le FAO-Animal-Feeding mailing list est très utile (contacte Harinder Makkar : [log in to unmask])

Meilleurs vœux/all the best for a new productive NEW YEAR.

Best,
Nancy

Dear colleagues,

The following articles might interest you.


1.    Regulate, rather than prohibit, the use of food waste as feed: learning from East Asian experiences (published on 18.12.2016 in www.feedipedia.org<http://www.feedipedia.org> )

http://www.feedipedia.org/content/regulate-rather-prohibit-use-food-waste-feed-learning-east-asian-experiences
Nations such as Japan and South Korea offer working models for the safe, regulated use of food waste as animal feed. As the EU faces both a deficit in protein sources for animal feed and calls to create a zero-waste, circular economy, there is a growing mandate to reconsider the ban on swill. Regulating, rather than prohibiting, the use of food waste as pig feed could safely produce high-quality pork, with substantial economic and environmental benefits.



2.    Impacts of feeding less food-competing feedstuffs to livestock on global food system sustainability (published on 16.12.2016 in Royal Society’s scientific journal Interface)

According to a new study led by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) on behalf of the Food and Agriculture Organization FAO, reducing the proportion of human-edible animal feed grown on cropland might have a positive effect on the availability of food and important environmental indicators such as GHG-emissions and nitrogen surplus. Less competition between production of food and animal feed proves to be an effective approach to sustainably providing food for the estimated 10 billion people in 2050.
