The Objective:
To understand the state of the art of animal care requirements, including the strategies to globalize them and the identification of future opportunities and threats.
The Narration:
Consumers are increasingly concerned about animal care and health. Animal rights are not just the focus of attention, but rather the monitoring mechanisms of production systems to prevent the emergence of diseases with economic impact or that pose a threat to human health at regional and global scales. The protection of animals as well as animal and human health concerns are strong motivations for the development of private standards that bring down the concept of political or economic borders.
The Starters:
- Who are developing animal welfare standards worldwide and under what criteria?
- What are the strategies to seek assurances for welfare and animal health? and do they consider the differences among production systems?
- Will standards represent barriers to trade between countries or companies?
