During the past several decades, the traditional agriculture structure has been unsustainable since decrease in grain consumption and increase in animal food consumption, resulting in a large number of grain to be used as forage. Grasslands and animal husbandry will gradually become the agricultural mainstream and lead the agriculture to get out of dilemma. Therefore, the cropping structure should be adjusted timely because the lower productivity of grassland for animal husbandry that is far not satisfied for human needs. Understanding how to solve the problems of “three rural” and “three animal husbandry” is of high importance for facing the growing demands for food structure and the desire for ecological civilization. Although grasslands and animal husbandry has developed vibrantly and achieved some achievements, forage grass and livestock production are considerably low and the industrial capacity is insufficient, and facing enormous challenges. Certainly, the development potential of grass and animal husbandry is also huge due to fast growing market demand in China. Our analysis showed that developing “animal-husbandry development” model by relying on scientific and technological innovation, talent construction, social needs and national policy support, which grasslands and animal husbandry industry will rapidly transform and develop, is an effective way to promote the forage grass and livestock production in China. We also discussed the driven factors about improvement of quality and efficiency and transformation development of grasslands and animal husbandry industry, and proposed seven principles for the development of “animal-husbandry development” in China, including construction of high quality forage production system, breeding and promotion of improved varieties, ecological protection of natural grassland, exploring different regional development modes and optimizing the industrial development environment. Grass animal husbandry development has reached breaking point, must optimize the structure of the industrial for the combination of economic, ecological and social benefits the coordinated development of the green road. At the same time, modern industrial development modes should be introduced to reform the traditional prataculture and agricultural and achieve a sustainable developing stage. Moreover, the society has provided a good opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of grassland and animal husbandry by the construction of ecological engineering and the protection of national food security. These will help us to realize the improvement of efficiency and quality, increase industrial benefits and the industrialization level, finally explore a sustainable development way with effective output, safe production, resource conservation and environment-friendly.

For several decades, negative trends have been visible in animal husbandry, which in the future may become prerequisites for a food crisis on the territory of Ukraine. That is why the study of spatial-temporal dynamics, as well as the selection of areas of specialization of individual branches of the animal husbandry sector, is quite important and relevant. Purpose. To study the specialization of the animal husbandry complex of Ukraine and to identify sectoral disproportions in animal husbandry in the regions of Ukraine. Methods: Statistical, cartographic, comparative-geographical. Results. We have collected and analyzed the statistical materials of the Main Department of Statistics regarding livestock in the animal husbandry industry in Ukraine for 2009 and 2019. It was found that in all branches, except for poultry, there is a noticeable tendency to reduce livestock. On the basis of the collected statistical data, coefficients of specialization in the animal husbandry industry were calculated. According to the results of the calculations, maps were developed, on which the spatial-temporal trends of changes in the areas of specialization of the branches of the animal husbandry complex of Ukraine were highlighted. We identified the main reasons that negatively affected the development of animal husbandry in Ukraine, which included: insufficient state and financial support for the industry; decrease in the share of the rural working population; lack of subsidies for the animal husbandry industry; unprofitability of production; outdated material base and labor-intensive production. Conclusions. According to the research results, it was found that the livestock number in the animal husbandry industry has a tendency to decrease over the last ten years. Positive dynamics are present only in the poultry industry.Identifying the reasons that led to negative trends in animal husbandry became a further basis for developing solutions that could solve these problems. These include: financial support of the industry and attraction of investments; state subsidies; development of selection and breeding business; updating the material and technical base.

Basra Governorate is one of the important governorates in Iraq, which includes a large number of large industrial facilities. These establishments vary in terms of specialization. The most important of these industries are agro-industries, specifically food industries. These factories produce more than ten types of food, as well as the petrochemical industries complex is localised in the governorate, which produces many oil derivatives that enter many industries. Accordingly, the industrial reality of agricultural industries in Iraq and chemical industries was studied and the study of the industrial cluster strategy was applied to the two industries with, representation of the role of chemical-based plastic industries in agricultural industries. The three industries are connected links that form an industrial cluster in themselves, if it is established, this will support the agricultural industries in a distinctive way. A map of the geographical distribution of the agricultural and chemical industries in the governorate was drawn. The results were in favour of the settlement of the two industries together in three important districts in the governorate, indicating that industrial clusters have a major role in the agricultural industries by the chemical industries, and the research ended with recommendations for government support for that important .strategy

Marine fisheries are undeniably important to Taiwan in terms of economic development and industrial strategies. In the past 10 years, Taiwan’s fishery GDP accounted for 14% to 21% of all agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry, which is higher than both animal husbandry and forestry. Since the domestic population structure of Taiwan has changed, the domestic fishery industrial labor force has gradually been replaced by migrant fishing workers. The issue of migrant fishing workers’ protection has received attention from non-governmental organizations, and cross-national recruitment administration has become the greatest challenge faced by Taiwan’s authority. Therefore, this paper describes the necessary protection of the labor conditions and interests of migrant fishermen by analyzing their status and human rights protection in the historical development of Taiwan’s marine fisheries. In addition, considering the well-being of migrant fishing workers, this paper conducts a feasibility assessment on the operation of the “Nan-Fang-Ao Fishermen’s Hostel” at the Nan-Fang-Ao Fishing Harbor and illustrates the urgent need to re-examine the migrant fishing workers’ protection. This paper suggests that the government agencies should actively advise employers to accept migrant fishermen’s requests for better living environments onshore and guarantee basic living conditions.

This paper examines discourses of stakeholders regarding global climate change to assess whether and how they construct industrial animal agriculture as posing a risk. The analysis assesses whether these discourses have shifted since the release of Livestock’s Long Shadow, a report by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization, which indicated that the industrial animal agriculture sector as a whole contributes more to global climate change than the transportation sector. Using Ulrich Beck’s theorizing of the “risk society,” this paper examines how various animal rights and welfare groups, environmental organizations, meat industry stakeholders, governmental agencies, and newspapers in Canada, the United States, and internationally investigate and construct industrial animal agriculture as a risk, if at all, and how their respective discourses conflict. The findings indicate that while some stakeholders acknowledge industrial animal agriculture’s contribution to global climate change, for the most part the problematization of animal agriculture has not increased since the release of Livestock’s Long Shadow, and the animal agriculture industry has seemingly not lost its power to “rationalize risk.”

Drawing upon the data of China’s animal husbandry industry from 2000 to 2020 in 30 provinces, an EBM model incorporating non-desired outputs was employed to gauge the carbon emission efficiency of the animal husbandry industry. Coupling degree models, spatial autocorrelation models, and Markov chain models were utilized to assess the coupling degree between the industrial agglomeration of the animal husbandry sector and its carbon emission efficiency, and to analyze its spatio-temporal distribution and evolution. The outcomes showed that (1) the coupling degree of China’s animal husbandry industry agglomeration and carbon emission efficiency exhibited an overall downward inclination. Notably, the diminishing tendency of the coupling degree was more pronounced in the eastern, central, and western parts of the country; (2) the coupling degree of the 30 provinces showed a spatial distribution of “western > central > northeast > eastern”; (3) the coupling degree showed obvious agglomeration distribution characteristics, wherein a substantial quantity of provinces was located in high–high clustering zones and low–low clustering zones; (4) the coupling degree of various provinces remained fairly stable, but after considering the spatial and geographical correlation, the coupling degree of each province would be influenced by the coupling degree of its adjacent provinces. Evidently, there remained a substantial scope for the enhancement of the coupling coordination degree between the industrial agglomeration of China’s animal husbandry and the carbon emission efficiency. This research is capable of furnishing a theoretical allusion for promoting regional cooperation, leveraging agglomeration advantages, and implementing carbon emission abatement regimes and directives to enhance the low-carbon development level of animal husbandry industry agglomeration in China.
