A new analysis of the feed/food debate (2017, background): “The annual feed intake of livestock (6 billion tonnes DM) represents 60% of the total food and feed combined biomass, including residues and by-products, or about 20% of the global human appropriation of biomass (Pelletier and Tyedmers, 2010; Imhoff et al., 2004; Krausmann et al., 2013).”
