TAILIEUCHUNG - The economics of moving to higher welfare farming

Rising sea levels will result in tens to hundreds of millions more people flooded each year with warming of 3 or 4°C. There will be serious risks and increasing pressures for coastal protection in South East Asia (Bangladesh and Vietnam), small islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific, and large coastal cities, such as Tokyo, New York, Cairo and London. According to one estimate, by the middle of the century, 200 million people may become permanently displaced due to rising sea levels, heavier floods, and more intense droughts. . | REVIEWING THE COSTS The economics of moving to higher welfare farming COMPASSION in world farming THE ECONOMICS OF MOVING TO HIGHER WELFARE FARMING CONTENTS 03 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 04 ABSTRACT 05 PRODUCTION COST DIFFERENCES OF HIGHER WELFARE 08 IMPROVED WELFARE SOME COST REDUCTIONS 11 IMPACT ON PRICES 11 ECONOMIC DRIVERS THAT COULD STIMULATE HIGHER WELFARE 15 PUTTING A COST ON EXTERNALITIES 19 POLICY INSTRUMENTS FOR INTERNALISING EXTERNALITIES 20 CONCLUSIONS 21 REFERENCES Animals are farmed industrially left to maximise profit margins this paper suggests that in some cases higher welfare systems add little to farm-level costs and in other cases improved welfare can be economically beneficial.

He played a leading role in lobbying for and winning the EU bans on veal crates battery cages and sow stalls as well as the new status for animals in EU law as sentient beings. As a qualified lawyer he has produced comprehensive legal analyses of EU legislation on farm animals and has assessed the impact of the World Trade Organization rules on animal welfare. 2 THE ECONOMICS OF MOVING TO HIGHER WELFARE FARMING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Industrial animal farming - factory farming - might appear to be the most hard-nosed but business-savvy response to food industry demand forcing up production yield size supply rate and turnover in livestock. However this paper shows that in certain cases farming to higher standards of animal welfare adds relatively little to on-farm production costs. Indeed in some cases improved welfare produces economic benefits. In better welfare systems animals will tend to be healthier. This can lead to reduced expenditure on veterinary medicines and lower mortality rates. The provision of straw and or additional space for finishing pigs can result in improved growth rates. Similarly compared with high yielding dairy cows lower yielding but healthier .
