108. Believes that better livestock feed management, including protein crops in arable rotations and increasing the diversity of protein crops in permanent pasture mixes, in order to grow more animal feed on-farm, would reduce dependence on animal feed imports with a high carbon cost; believes that this would also reduce animal feed costs for farmers, and result in better soil management, by increasing soil water retention and also reducing susceptibility to pests;

Our ability to compete with other protein sources, both domestically and in international beef markets, requires research to improve feed efficiency; improve feed, forage, and grassland productivity; and reduce animal health and welfare concerns.

30. Considers that the Union should strengthen and improve feed and food autonomy and self-sufficiency, including by ensuring better protection for agricultural soils and their productivity and, in particular, by fostering the sustainable use of grassland for stock farming (by means of free-range meat programmes, premiums to reward grazing practices consistent with nature conservation, etc.) in order to achieve a greater degree of feed autonomy; takes the view that, with a view to contributing to food security and sustainability throughout the world, the CAP must seek to strike a balance between plant production, animal production and e ...[+++]nergy production in the EU farming industry;
