Research need from Focus Group: Intensify research into systemic values of keeping animals

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This need for research has been identified in FG 42 on “Sustainable beef production systems”. If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

There is a need to understand the advantages/disadvantages of including cattle as part of agricultural production, such as nutrient cycling, grassland as part of crop rotations, mixed production, local/regional food security, local/regional rural viability, biodiversity and landscape amenity; as well as production conditions to better assess the role of grass-based* beef in a sustainable food chain and sustainability of rural areas.
