Taking the steps toward sustainable livestock: our multidisciplinary global farm platform journey. [Open Access].

Ruminant livestock are a vital global source of highquality protein and bioavailable minerals and vitamins. They support healthy dietary choices by providing milk and meat produced from less productive land and food industry byproducts. However, despite the contribution of ruminants to food systems and the circular bioeconomy, ruminant production systems are increasingly questioned due to their environmental impact, particularly their significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and associated global warming.
