The latter are exacerbated in the European Union (EU) by consumption issues linked, in particular, to the health and environmental impacts of meat consumption, and by the increasing societal concerns linked to animal welfare. Simultaneously, animal production may also provide benefits, notably from an economic and nutritional point of view. Some livestock systems, notably grass-based systems, may also offer positive climatic and environmental effects. Animal production is highly regulated in the EU, whereas the consumption of animal products is not (or very lightly) regulated. Many of the negative and positive effects are public goods that are not well taken into account by private actors and markets. Thus, there is legitimacy and scope for public policies aimed at reducing the damage and increasing the benefits of animal production and consumption. The last part of the paper explains how this could be achieved in the EU through a significantly revised and extended Common Agricultural Policy that more closely follows the principles of public economics. Public regulation principles that are proposed have a more general scope and can be adapted to other livestock contexts. date: 2021-12 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press id_number: 10.1016/j.animal.2021.100283 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/126338 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1016/j.animal.2021.100283 view_date_year: 2021 full_text_status: none publication: Animal volume: vol.15 place_of_pub: Cambridge refereed: TRUE issn: 1751-7311 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:126338 harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: official_url oai_lastmod: 2024-06-06T12:02:26Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 citation: Guyomard, Hervé , Bouamra-Mechemache, Zohra , Chatellier, Vincent , Delaby, Luc , Détang-Dessendre, Cécile , Peyraud, Jean-Louis and Réquillart, Vincent (2021) Review: Why and how to regulate animal production and consumption: The case of the European Union.
