Why is it important?
Papers dealing with all aspects of sustainable beef production, quality and supply from producers to consumers are published in this special issue.
Perspectives
The EAAP Cattle Network Working Group was established in order to target exchanges between research and the industry in the whole cattle sector (dairy and beef). Its main aims are as follows: ∙ Monitor and discuss trends in production and consumption of cattle products and policy measures affecting the cattle sector. ∙ Analyze the sustainability of cattle farming in order to ensure the meeting of market and society demand and consumers’ preferences for quality and safe food, contributing to rural employment, maintaining landscape and ensuring environment management. ∙ Give common and standardized tools to present and describe farm management.
