Towards Zero-Waste Farmland: From Agricultural Waste to Livestock Feed.

Abstract

Ruminant farming contributes to the production of milk and red meat. For instance, goats produce mutton and milk for human consumption. By 2050, the world population is expected to reach 10 billion. Thus, a significant increase in demand for red meat and milk from ruminant animals is expected. Although red meat can be grown in laboratories and as such, commercial production of that kind may be possible in the near future, it is very unlikely that the final product matches the characteristics of meats from the farmland.
