TOPIC
Primary industries are an economic basis of rural societies throughout
the world, and subject to strong and complex forces of restructuring,
implying extensive changes in production forms, particularly intensity,
and geographical location of production and settlements. In the age of
globalization these forces are stronger than ever. This has different
implications for different parts of the world.
Within this context the congress will establish a workgroup on the
actual and potential role of extensive livestock production. In
industrialized countries livestock production, due to the same external
forces as agriculture, has generally changed from being an integrated
part of rural farming to become a marginal activity in marginal areas.
Fundamental economic forces driven by the technological treadmill and
trade accords, general and special agricultural, and also, national and
over-national environmental policies influence livestock productions.
