N2 - Implications
• The Global Farm Platform was conceived and established to explore multidisciplinary strategies for
optimising the sustainability of ruminant livestock systems around the world.
• International sustainability issues are common, but
the solutions are often region-specific; therefore, our
farms, situated across all major agroclimatic zones, are
a unique resource worldwide.
• Each farm is following "steps to sustainable livestock" to improve their production system(s), thereby
developing robust metrics to progress economic, environmental and social viability.
• The consortium works collaboratively to improve the
sustainability of ruminants, which we argue are a vital
component of global food systems, delivering both
human and planetary health.
