Charles Nicholson, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke at the international seminar during the World Dairy Expo on October 3, 2024, highlighting that the livestock industry is currently undergoing a revolution.
This was reported by a DairyNews.today correspondent from the World Dairy Expo, held in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
“The driving forces of the revolution are urbanization, population growth, and rising incomes. Livestock products are becoming more prevalent in diets, especially in Asia and Latin America,” said Charles Nicholson.
“The revolution in livestock farming will expand the potential of existing production and distribution systems. Governments and industries must prepare for these ongoing changes by developing long-term policies and investments,” the expert noted, emphasizing that the changes should aim to meet consumer demand, improve nutrition quality, and reduce the strain on the environment and human health.
