The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN FAO) has published a draft for public reviewof the Guidelines for environmental quantification of nutrient flowsand impact assessment in livestock supply chains. This guideline hasbeen prepared by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on nutrient cyclesand impact assessment as a response to the call by the LivestockEnvironmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership members forrecommendations on nutrient accounting and impact assessment forinclusion into the LEAP guidelines. The objectives of the TAG were todevelop guidelines to quantify nutrient flows in livestock supplychains; develop guidelines and environmental impacts (eutrophication andacidification) and for selection of relevant indicators for livestocksupply chains. ESPP joined the first advisory group meeting in 2016 andprovided a presentation about the need for better Data on Nutrients to Support Stewardship based on conclusions of DONUTSS. The FAO draft is open for public review to February 28th 2018, use this template and submit to Livestock-Partnership@fao.org including justifications for comments.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic. The Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains.
