Green Practices Guideline for Livestock Sector

Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among stakeholders, including government agencies, research institutions, industry players, and farmers. By implementing targeted policies, providing technical support, and promoting innovation and knowledge sharing, the livestock sector can overcome these challenges and achieve sustainable development while contributing to the country’s food security and economic growth. The livestock sector plays a crucial role in Malaysia’s agricultural development, providing valuable nutritional benefits, supporting livelihoods, and contributing to the resilience of families and communities. However, the rapid growth in production and trade within the sector has also raised concerns about its environmental impact, animal welfare, and human health. In order to optimise the sector’s contribution to sustainable development objectives and mitigate potential risks, there is a clear need for a comprehensive Green Practices Guideline tailored specifically for the livestock sector. This guideline would provide a framework for adopting and implementing sustainable practices throughout the sector, including areas such as waste management, energy efficiency, responsible use of resources, animal welfare, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. By establishing clear guidelines and promoting the adoption of green practices, the livestock sector can improve its environmental performance, enhance resource efficiency, and contribute to the overall sustainability goals of the country. 01 02 03 04 05 Boosting efficiency of livestock production and resources use Intensifying recycling efforts and minimising losses for a circular bio-economy Capitalising on nature-based solutions to ramp-up carbon offset Striving for healthy and sustainable diets Developing policy measures to drive change 11 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR LIVESTOCK SECTOR
