Synopsis
This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feed crop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Livestock's contribution to environmental problems is on a massive scale and its potential contribution to their solution is equally large. The impact is so significant that it needs to be addressed with urgency. Major reductions in impact could be achieved at reasonable cost., This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation.

    Despite the East Coast being under a blanket of snow and ice this week, the book arrived safely and is exactly as described in the post. I believe it was a great price for such an old out of print volume. I cannot speak to the packaging as one of my neighbors to the package from my door and later returned the book without the packaging. I came home to the book laying at my door. This is no fault of the seller.

    I was thrilled to receive this autographed copy of Fourteen For Tonight by Steve Allen! As a fan of classic comedy and television history, this 1955 second printing hardcover is a true gem. The book itself is a delightful collection of Steve Allen’s humor, showcasing his wit and charm. It arrived in great condition, well-packaged, and exactly as described. Would definitely buy from this seller again! 👍
