The following course aims to achieve 5 main objectives, which are listed below:

1. To provide the necessary knowledge to understand the complexity of agro-livestock systems and their relationship with the main animal species raised for the production of food for human consumption.
2. To analyze the environmental impacts generated by livestock activities and represent the main aspects associated with these impacts.
3. To deepen the main categories of environmental impact associated with the livestock sector.
4. To provide knowledge about the interventions that can be implemented to reduce the environmental impact generated by the production of animal-origin foods.
5. To illustrate the systems used to evaluate the environmental impact of livestock systems.

In summary, through this course, students will acquire skills to understand the complexity of agro-livestock systems, analyze the environmental impacts generated by livestock activities, identify the main categories of environmental impact associated with the livestock sector, and learn about the interventions that can be implemented to reduce environmental impact. Additionally, information will be provided on the systems used to evaluate the environmental impact of livestock systems.
