Istat has used a time-series analysis (from 2002 to 2008) of agro-ecosystems in Italy to derive an indicator of the environmental pressure exerted by livestock.<\/p>\n
This indicator describes the territory’s overall livestock pressure on the environment, particularly in terms of its potential impact on soil and water quality, by using a weighted standardization to calculate livestock density and generate an expression of livestock burden in terms of Livestock Units (LU). This type of unit is obtained by applying a system of weighted coefficients in order to convert the consistencies measured for different livestock species, which are surveyed annually, into values that are homogeneous and comparable over time.<\/p>\n
The monitoring of livestock burden and its evolution over time at national and regional levels, in combination with other agro-environmental indicators generated by Istat, provides an additional interpretative key for helping to understand the complex interrelationship of agriculture and the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
