communities. The commission\u2019s goal is to understand and resolve sustainability issues of livestock farming.<\/p><p>The focus is a holistic view of the system performance, not least because optimizing individual parts tends to have unintended consequences elsewhere in the system and therefore can reduce overall system performance, with complex trade-offs. With holistic management, the aim is to achieve productivity through synergy \u2013 through building wholes that are greater than the sum of their parts.<\/p><p>A systems approach gives us the tools to explore the interconnections within a livestock farm and between farming and other aspects of our environment. These include concepts that are fundamental when addressing sustainability in livestock farming systems: ecosystem services, resilience, rural development, climate change mitigation and adaptation, health and well-being of people as well as health, welfare and robustness of soil, plants, animals and ecosystems.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1072\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1072\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Aim<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1072\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1072\"><p>Livestock Farming Systems researchers typically study interactions at the:<\/p><ul><li>farm level: interactions between cropping, grassland management and animal husbandry, between on- and off- farm work, between technologies, agro-ecosystems and production economics<\/li><li>territorial level: interactions between production methods, food nutritional value, cultural landscapes, economic incentives and farm diversity, farmers and other rural actors<\/li><li>chain level: interactions between farm and other actors along the food chain<\/li><\/ul><p>The bundle of methods used reaches from instrumented farms (such as those within the Global Farm Platform network; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalfarmplatform.org\">www.globalfarmplatform.org<\/a>), whole farm simulation and optimization models, life cycle assessment, landscape modelling, participatory approaches, experimental research and all approaches that aim to explore interconnections at farm, regional and chain level.<\/p><p>Finally, a systems approach implies interdisciplinary efforts in research.
