The impact of the animal production sector on the environment

Changes in climate will significantly affect agricultural production and especially plant and animal production worldwide. Climate change threatens global food supply as certain crops become more expensive due to reduced production and supply. The global human population is projected to increase to over 9 billion people by the year 2050. Forecasted population growth will result in an increase in demands for food by about 50–60% approximated to the current demands. This study aimed to show the models and the possibilities of improving productivity while reducing emissions. Precision animal farming by using various sensors and big data management contributes improvement of the system in terms of animal health, productivity, and welfare. It will make it possible for farmers to optimize the management of the farm and consequently realize an efficient and sustainable production system from the economic and environmental point of view.
