    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Areas of intensive livestock production are currently facing a significant transformation process. In the context of climate change, the planetary boundaries, political conflicts and crises as well as a growing population, sustainable, effective and resilient agrifood systems need to be established. To achieve this goal, society, politics, the economy, agriculture and science are equally challenged. Only with a holistic, systemic and participatory strategy, a transformation of the existing system can be achieved. This book analyses the current transition processes as well as its drivers and barriers and gives examples for new integrated strategies, concepts, business models and developments for the livestock sector. Finally, the book indicates fields of action for the establishment of sustainable livestock farming.
    The book will appeal to stakeholders in science, society, economy, policy, agricultural industry, stakeholders in veterinary practice and agriculture.
