| Summary: | Livestock farming contributes the production of food at the expense of
environmental degradation on air, water and soil/land. The qualitative study, an initial
environmental review (IER) was conducted to identify overall farm operation and
management practice via various environmental aspects and associated impacts. The
study has identified activities in selected farms with significant impacts on environment
are transportation, resource consumption, manure and wastewater management. As
observed, two farms have initiated a sustainable and environmentally livestock farming
practice by taking consideration on natural resources consumption, animal, waste and
impacts to nature. An increase of livestock population with time, a periodically review
and assessment on baseline information is proposed in future hence findings might quite
different. Other farms operator can adapt a Good Farming Practice (GFP) implemented
in two farms determined by the study findings. As recommendation, activities with
significant impacts should taken into consideration to mitigate the impacts and proposed
modification on any technology used in farm operation so that it meets the economic
resources and other aspects of farm producer to achieve sustainable farming in
Malaysia. |
