More than a thousand accredited scientists from all over the world signed a document called the Dublin Declaration, which collects the opinions of experts related to veterinary disciplines, proving the benefits of livestock breeding, highlighting the fundamental role it plays in providing protein food, especially meat and dairy products, to all segments of the population, showing its importance in alleviating hunger and malnutrition. The reaction of science is to deny the harms that can be attributed to livestockwhen it is possible to carry it out in optimal health and hygiene conditions without impacting the environment, which contradicts the arguments of environmental extremists who promote the closure of European farms, although the injured farmers are paid, forgetting the population that lives directly from these tasks and indirectly about the elements that make links in the post-production chain that generate employment.

The free harassment of this noble agricultural dedication is sponsored and promoted by the state represented by the administrative bodies of the European Union, sparing no huge resources to subsidize frightened entrepreneurs, encouraging them to sell their herds that they previously promoted with high subsidies, dangerously distracting their eyes from the unemployment that these irrational actions would cause , supported by the extremist political movements that sponsor them.

In the American environment, extensive animal husbandry is successfully practiced, in which models of proper use of planted pastures, improvement of grazing, identification of areas unsuitable for agricultural use, implementation of various types of rotation and mobility, utilization of resources without damaging them. natural, which have been practiced since ancient times, can be incorporated. successful farmers. Data from a recently published Argentinian study concludes that grazing livestock is a valuable tool for sequestering carbon from the soil,” going so far as to state that if a producer excluded livestock, “the amount of roots in the soil would be reduced,” seriously in the plan to mitigate climate change.

IICA, in the voice of its director general, stuck to the public statement pointing out that livestock in the Americas represents “half of the agricultural GDP in Latin America and the Caribbean, generating more than $23 billion in foreign exchange with beef and close to $3 billion with dairy products. We must make these aspects visible before various international forums, and this declaration is a great contribution to that”. Agricultural chambers, agronomist and veterinary colleges must adopt the mentioned document.

This zootechnical practice, accepting the rhythm of animal development, their digestive processes, the behavior of each breed leads to well-managed animal husbandry adapted to the peculiarities of the rural population, contributing to the valorization of the land by incorporating organic matter into the soil, facilitating the conservation and efficient use of water. This will help to neutralize emissions until reaching the goal of carbon neutrality. (OR)
