SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Alessandra Falcucci: Livestock\, the Global Environm
 ent\, and COVID-19: a reflection on Livestock Systems before and after the 
 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Science and Society\nSpeaker: Alessandra Falcucci\nInstitution: 
 Lead Geographic Information Systems analyst\, Global Livestock Environment
 al Assessment Model (GLEAM)\, Food & Agricultural Organisation of the UN\, 
 Italy\nHost: Lucia von Bredow\nAbstract: This talk will explore livestock\
 , the global environment\, and COVID-19\, and will reflect on livestock sy
 stems before and after the pandemic.\n\nThe sustainability of the livestoc
 k systems is the focus of growing public debate\, extensively discussed in 
 the media and increasingly on the agenda of high-level political meetings. 
 Over the last 30 years\, consumption of meat\, milk and eggs in lower midd
 le-income countries has more than tripled. Population growth\, urbanisatio
 n\, income gains and globalisation continue to fuel the “livestock revolut
 ion”. According to FAO projections\, under a business-as-usual scenario\, 
 demand for meat will increase by a further 60% by 2030\, compared to 2006\
 , and by over 200% by 2050. This represents a big source of challenges and 
 opportunities on how to reduce environmental impacts\, while continuing to 
 meet society’s needs.\nLink: https://www.embl.de/aboutus/science_society/s
