INTRODUCTION

The United Nations Population Division 1 projects that the human population may rise to nearly 11 billion people by 2100. Nearly 90% of the population will live in less developed regions. In particular, nine countries will be responsible for more than half of the projected population growth: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Egypt, and the United States 2 . Parallel to overall population growth, we evidence an increase in meat production and consumption. From 1961 to 2013, average annual meat consumption rose worldwide from 23.1 to 43.2 kg per person: between 14 kg in the least developed countries to over 81 kg in the European Union and 115 kg in the United States and Australia, achieving average consumption levels that exceed needs in the most developed countries [START_REF] Sans | World meat consumption patterns: an overview of the last fifty years (1961-2011)[END_REF][START_REF] Owd | Our World in Data, Per capita meat consumption by type, Data[END_REF] . Even though the number of undernourished people is estimated to have reached 821 million in 2017 [START_REF] Fao | Indicators from household surveys[END_REF] , purchasing power of the developing world increased significantly in the 2000s, and to such a rate that the aggregate economic weight of developing and emerging economies have surpassed that of the countries that currently make up the advanced world [START_REF]Perspectives on Global Development: Shifting Wealth[END_REF] . Figure 1 shows an increase in protein consumption (g/capita/d) in 37 countries by income tercile [START_REF] Fao | Indicators from household surveys[END_REF] : as income grows, so does expenditure on livestock products [START_REF] Thornton | The inter-linkages between rapid growth in livestock production, climate change, and the impacts on water resources, land use, and deforestation[END_REF] .

Protein consumption increased between 50 to 200% when income increased from the first to the third tercile (Figure 1); this variation in consumption increase can be explained by differences in initial intake levels and the relative place of meat in protein intake in each country [START_REF] Sans | World meat consumption patterns: an overview of the last fifty years (1961-2011)[END_REF] . The increase in population size and consumption per capita propelled, what Delgado 8 called, "the livestock revolution". The increase in the world production of meat from different livestock species in response to the increase in the world's human population size is particularly pronounced for broiler and pig meat [START_REF] Fao | Livestock Primary[END_REF] . So much that Thomas et al. [START_REF] Thomas | We are living on "the planet of the chickens[END_REF] exclaim: "We are living on the planet of the Livestock farming systems provide a range of benefits, including provision of protein-rich food from edible resources that contribute to food security, employment and rural economies, carbon storage and flood control by grasslands, landscape aesthetic value, recreation and tourism potential, capital stock and draught power in many developing countries, cultural identity, and social services all around the world [START_REF] Dumont | Review: Make ruminants green againhow can sustainable intensification and agroecology converge for a better future?[END_REF][START_REF] Ryschawy | Review: An integrated graphical tool for analysing impacts and services provided by livestock farming[END_REF] . Meat consumption contributes to the supply of energy, protein, and important micronutrients (e.g., long-chain n-3 fatty acids, copper, iron, iodine, manganese, selecnium, zinc, B-vitamins) in the human food chain [START_REF] Smet | Meat: The balance between nutrition and health. A review[END_REF] . However, despite these multiple benefits of meat production, the increase in the number of livestock animals directly challenges sustainability of animal production, since it results in profound consequences for our earth: in 2004, the WorldWatch Institute 15 concluded: 'The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the robust to heat stress [START_REF] Renaudeau | Adaptation to hot climate and strategies to alleviate heat stress in livestock production[END_REF] . In addition, and opposite to the concept of precision livestock farming, sustainability is also increased with a shift from reliance on optimally formulated feeds based on feed grains and imported feedstuffs to local feeds and feedstuff co-products of sub-optimal quality [START_REF] Mottet | Livestock: On our plates or eating at our table? A new analysis of the feed/food debate[END_REF] . According to, e.g., Dagevos and Voordouw [START_REF] Dagevos | Sustainability and meat consumption: is reduction realistic?[END_REF] , sustainability measures should also include strategies to reduce meat consumption and to encourage more sustainable eating practices.

It is the aim of the present perspective to present an overview of two scenarios: agricultural intensification (high input-high output systems) vs. improved robustness to suboptimal conditions (reduced input-reduced output systems). In the first section of this manuscript we discuss the importance of sustainability measures to mitigate negative implications of an increase in the number of livestock animals to our earth. We then describe the concept of precision livestock farming as a scenario to improve sustainability of livestock farming. We follow with a description Comment citer ce document : Rauw, W. M., Rydhmer, L., Kyriazakis, I., Øverland, M., Gilbert, H., Dekkers, J. C. M., Hermesch, S., Bouquet, A., Gómez Izquierdo, E., Louveau, I., Gomez-Raya, L (2020).

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, sous presse (sous presse), sous presse. , DOI : 10.1002/jsfa.10338 of increased adaptation to climate change and local feed resources as an alternative scenario to improve sustainability. In the last section we discuss the economic viability of these two scenarios. In Europe, the population is expected to increase very little, and the demand for animal products is unlikely to increase, however, European diets are on average high in animal products [START_REF] Röös | Protein futures for Western Europe: potential land use and climate impacts in 2050[END_REF] . This perspective emphasizes European livestock production systems.

SUSTAINABILITY OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Land, water, and energy inputs

Although the increase in demand for animal products over the last decades has been largely met by intensive livestock production [START_REF] Speedy | Global production and consumption of animal source foods[END_REF] , increased demand must likely result in an increase of land dedicated to grow and feed livestock. Since the total arable global surface is limited, this seriously challenges sustainability of production: currently, livestock production, including grazing land and land dedicated to feedcrop production, already accounts for approximately 70 percent of all agricultural land, and 30 percent of the total land surface of the planet [START_REF] Steinfeld | Livestock's long shadow: environmental issues and options[END_REF] . Release of the amount of carbon held in trees to the atmosphere with the clearing of natural vegetation for agricultural production, which is 20 to 50 times higher in forests than in cleared lands, contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming [START_REF] Bala | Combined climate and carbon-cycle effects of large-scale deforestation[END_REF] . According to Houghton [START_REF] Houghton | Tropical deforestation as a source of greenhouse gas emissions[END_REF] , tropical deforestation, in particular in Brazil, India and Indonesia, is estimated to have released 1-2 PgC (petagrams of carbon) per year during the 1990s and is predicted to release another 85 to 130 PgC over the next 100 years. The livestock sector accounts for eight percent of global human water use, mostly for the irrigation of feedcrops [START_REF] Steinfeld | Livestock's long shadow: environmental issues and options[END_REF] . Pimentel et al. [START_REF] Pimentel | Water resources: agricultural and environmental issues[END_REF] estimate that the liters of water needed per kg product ranges from 3500 in broiler chickens, 6000 in pigs, 43000 in feedlot beef, and and Chapagain [START_REF] Hoekstra | Water footprints of nations: water use by people as a function of their consumption pattern[END_REF] , the water needed to produce chicken meat, pork, and beef is 3900, 4900, and 15500 m 3 /ton, respectively, compared with 900 m 3 /ton for maize, 1300 m 3 /ton for wheat, and 3000 m 3 /ton for husked rice. A recent study by Mekkonen et al. [START_REF] Mekonnen | Water productivity in meat and milk production in the US from 1960 to 2016[END_REF] showed that several factors, including larger livestock output per head, lower feed requirements per head, and larger yields of feed crops have resulted in improved water productivity (i.e., the ratio of the product output per animal to its water footprint) of meat and milk products between 1960 and 2016. However, they warn that the livestock sector still consumes large amounts of water, contributing to the competition over scarce freshwater resources. Furthermore, livestock production requires energy.

In the light of the 1970s oil crisis, Pimentel et al. [START_REF] Pimentel | Food production and the energy crisis[END_REF] warned that the use of high energy production technology to sustain green revolution agriculture might have a significant impact on agriculture as an industry and a way of life when conventional energy resources become scarce and expensive. According to Pimentel [START_REF] Pimentel | Livestock production and energy use[END_REF] , kcal fossil energy inputs per kcal of animal protein produced increases from 4:1 in broilers, to 10:1 in turkeys, 14:1 in dairy cows, 14:1 in pigs, 20:1 in grass-fed beef cattle, 39:1 in laying hens, 40:1 in grain-and forage-fed beef cattle, to 57:1 in lamb.

The major fossil energy inputs come from fertilizers, farm machinery, fuel, irrigation, and pesticides for grain and forage production [START_REF] Pimentel | Impacts of organic farming on the efficiency of energy use in agriculture[END_REF] .

A larger livestock population results in larger amounts of emissions and wastes. The livestock supply chain is estimated to be responsible for the emission of 44% of anthropogenic methane (mostly from enteric fermentation by ruminants), 53% of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (mostly from manure), and 5% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming, and acidification and eutrophication of ecosystems [START_REF] Gerber | Tackling climate change through livestock -A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations[END_REF] . As quantified by Schiehorn et al. [START_REF] Schiehorn | Large greenhouse gas savings due to changes in the post-Soviet food systems[END_REF] , with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, emissions in carbon dioxide equivalents dropped by 7.61 Gt, mainly resulting from a decrease in beef production, increase in beef imports, and carbon sequestration in soils on abandoned cropland. According to Campbell et al. [START_REF] Campbell | Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries[END_REF] , of nine recognized planetary boundaries that define a safe operating space for humanity, agriculture is the major driver of full transgression of 'biosphere integrity' and 'biogeochemical flows', a significant contributor to 'climate change', puts 'land-system change' and 'freshwater use' at increasing risk of transgression, and threatens the planetary boundaries of 'ocean acidification', 'stratospheric ozone depletion', 'atmospheric aerosol loading', and 'introduction of novel entities' that are still in the safe zone.

Reduced meat consumption

Because of the impact of agriculture in particular, the need for a synergistic combination of changing Western diets to (more) plant-based, less intensive food types (i.e., a reduction of meat intake), improvements in technologies and management, and reductions in food loss and waste are emphasized [START_REF] González | Potential contributions of food consumption to climate change[END_REF][START_REF] Aleksandrowicz | The impact of dietary change on greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, and health: a systematic review[END_REF][START_REF] Springmann | Options for keeping the food system within environmental limits[END_REF] . For example, Raphaely and Marinova 44 write: 'Flexitarianism calls for an awareness of our personal impact on the world and an understanding that the morality of our diet Comment citer ce document : Rauw, W. M., Rydhmer, L., Kyriazakis, I., Øverland, M., Gilbert, H., Dekkers, J. C. M., Hermesch, S., Bouquet, A., Gómez Izquierdo, E., Louveau, I., Gomez-Raya, L (2020). Prospects for sustainability of pig production in relation to climate change and novel feed resources. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, sous presse (sous presse), sous presse. , DOI : 10.1002/jsfa.10338 is linked to the ecological and social conditions of human and nonhuman beings'. However, Bailey et al. [START_REF] Bailey | Livestock -climate change's forgotten sector. Global public opinion on meat and dairy consumption. Energy, environment and resources[END_REF] and Laestadius et al. [START_REF] Laestadius | No meat, less meat, or better meat: understanding NGO messaging choices intended to alter meat consumption in the light of climate change[END_REF] concluded from a multicountry survey, and interviews with non-governmental organizations in the USA, Canada, and Sweden, that despite the clear need for tackling the demand for meat and dairy products to avoid devastating climate change, there is a remarkable lack of policies, initiatives or campaigns to do so out of the belief that it is too complex a challenge, and risking alienating supporters with messages that are perceived to be negative or asking for too much. In 2018, in The Netherlands, the "Council for the Environment and Infrastructure" [START_REF] Rli | Raad voor de Leefomgeving en Infrastructuur, Duurzaam en Gezond. Samen naar een houdbaar voedselsysteem[END_REF] advised the Dutch Government to play an active role in reducing the national consumption of animal protein from 70% to 40% of total protein intake. The advice included setting active policy goals (e.g., setting production limits based on quotas for phosphate and CO 2 emission, and number of animals), cooperating with the retail and the catering industry to stimulate innovation in the sector, and influence consumer behavior, educate consumers, and increase the price of animal protein. However, the advice was debated by the government in March 2019 [START_REF] Kamer | Debat houdbaarheid voedselsysteem[END_REF] and rejected; only one of six motions filed (innovation of seaweed production) was accepted [START_REF] Kamer | Stemming over: moties ingrediend bij het dertigledendebat over the advies van de Raad voor de Leefomgeving en Infrastructuur over een houdbaar voedselsysteem[END_REF] . Meanwhile, based on a consumer survey in Norway, Austgulen et al. [START_REF] Austgulen | Consumer readiness to reduce meat consumption for the purpose of environmental sustainability: insights from Norway[END_REF] concluded that consumers may still not be ready to make food choices based on what is best for the climate or environment. Therefore, increased sustainability will predominantly need to come from more sustainable livestock production systems.

Prospects for sustainability of pig production in relation to climate change and novel feed resources. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, sous presse (sous presse), sous presse. , DOI : 10.1002/jsfa.10338 A first measure towards improved output of agricultural production is optimization of the existing production process. As given by Godfray et al. [START_REF] Godfray | Food security: The challenge of feeding 9 billion people[END_REF] , "the difference between realized productivity and the best that can be achieved using current genetic material and available technologies and management is termed the 'yield gap'", i.e., the difference between the observed yields and potential yields of crops [and livestock] at a given location [START_REF] Foley | Solutions for a cultivated planet[END_REF] . A yield gap may exist because of a mismatch between available technology, water, nutrients, land, biodiversity, and labor, and their optimum use by farmers based on accessibility, market influence, and knowledge [START_REF] Foley | Solutions for a cultivated planet[END_REF] . Whereas actual crop yields are already approximating their maximum possible yields in some regions, better deployment of existing crop varieties with improved management could significantly increase yields in particular across many parts of Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe [START_REF] Foley | Solutions for a cultivated planet[END_REF][START_REF] Neumann | The yield gap of global grain production: A spatial analysis[END_REF] .

The same holds true for livestock production. For example, the book of Ruth Harrison in 1964 on 'animal machines' was a first detailed description of livestock systems with "rapid turnover, high-density stocking, a high degree of mechanization, a low labor requirement, and efficient conversion of food into saleable products" in the Western world. In response to the rapidly growing demand for livestock products, over the past decades, large intensive livestock production units using the best genetics, in particular for pig and poultry production, have also emerged in many developing regions, closing the yield gap with respect to what is attainable in the developed world [START_REF] Steinfeld | Livestock production systems in developing countries: status, drivers, trends[END_REF] .

Genetic improvement is key to this development. In the 19th century, a combination of European and Asian pig genetics laid the foundation for the creation of modern European pig breeds, which became further genetically improved when national, regional, and commercial pig This article is protected by copyright.

From the late 1970s, it became common to use hybrid fattening pigs on commercial operations which improved production due to hybrid vigor and breed complementarity [START_REF]The State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture[END_REF] . Breeds used as sires could now be selected for production traits (lean growth, carcass quality and feed efficiency), whereas dam line selection also focused on reproduction traits (fertility, age at puberty, number born alive, litter weight). Worldwide, pig production is dominated by the use of the Large White, Duroc, Landrace, Hampshire, and Pietrain breeds, and breeding pigs are supplied by only few commercial companies, including Genus-PIC, Topigs-Norsvin, Hypor, Danbred, JSR Genetics, and Choice Genetics. Selection for feed efficiency is particularly relevant in order to support increased production levels with fewer resources, reducing the energy needed for producing feed while reducing animal excretions. However, whereas upwards selected production traits hypothetically have no upper limit, downwards selected traits that are related to the animal's energy balance (feed intake, body fatness) do: at a value of zero. This reduction may have consequences for animal robustness [START_REF] Rauw | Feed efficiency and animal robustness[END_REF] .

Improving quality of inputs

Genetically improved levels of productive output on a defined limited space are likely to require increased quality, if not quantity, of inputs. Improved crop production requires irrigation, fertilizer, machinery, crop-protection products for pest and weed control, and soil-conservation measures [START_REF] Godfray | Food security: The challenge of feeding 9 billion people[END_REF] . The negative externalities of production systems with high external inputs have been extensively described by, for example, Gregory et al. [START_REF] Gregory | Environmental consequences of alternative practices for intensifying crop production[END_REF]

This raises questions about the sustainability and potential environmental consequences of future production systems, and the need to focus on 'sustainable intensification', i.e., "production methods [that] have to sustain the environment, preserve natural resources and support livelihoods of farmers and rural populations around the world" [START_REF] Gregory | Environmental consequences of alternative practices for intensifying crop production[END_REF][START_REF]Royal Society of London Reaping the Benefits: Science and the Sustainable Intensification of Global Agriculture[END_REF] . Sustainability can be improved by fine-tuning the use of inputs through precision agriculture, i.e., a series of technologies that allows the application of water, nutrients, and pesticides only to the places and at the times they are required [START_REF] Godfray | Food security: The challenge of feeding 9 billion people[END_REF] .

Similarly, improved levels of livestock and poultry production at high stocking densities and modern biotechnology must be supported by improved technology and increased quantity and/or quality of resources that allow for the expression of production traits. With the delinking of livestock from on-farm, mixed-farming agricultural by-products, resulting from the industrialization of livestock production, feed with higher nutritional and commercial value is now sourced from international markets, including grain, oil-meal, fish-meal, and soybean meal [START_REF] Naylor | Losing the links between livestock and land[END_REF] . Worldwide, about one-third of global cereal production, 74% of maize production, and 83% of soybean production are fed to animals [START_REF] Mottet | Livestock: On our plates or eating at our table? A new analysis of the feed/food debate[END_REF][START_REF] Cassidy | Redefining agricultural yields: from tonnes to people nourished per hectare[END_REF] . Soybean meal is a major ingredient in livestock feeds because of its relatively low water content, high protein content (approximately 40%, up to 50%) with a suitable amino acid profile, minimal variation in nutrient content, anti-nutritional factors that are easily reduced or eliminated, and because it is a crop that is readily available year-round [START_REF] Dei | Soybean as a Feed Ingredient for Livestock and Poultry[END_REF] . It is a major source of the amino acid lysine, which is the first limiting amino acid for pigs and the second for poultry [START_REF] Visser | The EU's dependency on soya bean import for the animal feed industry and potential for EU produced alternatives[END_REF] .

The share of soy production in 2014 was 31% in the USA, 31% in Brazil, and 19% in Argentina [START_REF] Oliveira G De Lt | The politics of flexing soybeans: China, Brazil and global agroindustrial restructuring[END_REF] . In the EU, however, grain legume crops (species of Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family, including soybean, first pea, field beans, broad beans, chick pea, lentils and lupine) are grown on only 1.8% of arable land, making Europe heavily reliant on expensive imports, of approximately 70% for agricultural protein products and over 95% for soybean grains and meal [START_REF] Roman | Grain legumesmain source of vegetable proteins for European consumption[END_REF] . The reason for Europe's low production origins from trade agreements with the US. At the international trade negotiations of the General Tariff and Trade Agreement (GATT) Dillon Round of 1962, duty free entry of oilseeds to the European market (including soybeans) was negotiated, which, because of its significant progress in the efficiency of production and the use of new technologies, and therefore its favorable protein/cost-ratio, left alternative European substitutes for soy unable to develop. Subsequently, with the Blair House Agreement of 1992, the US successfully negotiated a limit to the area of subsidized oilseeds production in Europe, further increasing Europe's dependency on soy imports; this agreement was rendered obsolete with the reform of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy of 2005, which reduced oilseed payments to the same level as grains [START_REF] Van Dillen | EU NGO meeting 19-20 sept[END_REF][START_REF]Changing the EU oilseed market impacts global trade[END_REF] . However, by then, the relatively few investments made in the past decades had resulted in yield gaps in developing these protein crops relative to that of wheat or maize 69 .

According to Mottet et al. [START_REF] Mottet | Livestock: On our plates or eating at our table? A new analysis of the feed/food debate[END_REF] , pigs in industrial production systems consume 24.1 kg dry matter to produce 1 kg of pork protein; this 24.1 kg DM consists of 4.4 kg protein that origins from human-edible sources. These pigs have a considerably better feed conversion ratio than pigs in backyard systems, however, the latter make a positive net contribution to human protein availability by producing more protein in product than the amount of human-edible protein that they consume (0.7 kg/kg product).

Precision livestock farming

Similar to crop production, sustainability of this high-input high-output system is further improved through the use of modern monitoring and control systems that allow for precision livestock farming (PLF), a term coined in 2004 describing "a management system based on continuous automatic real-time monitoring and control of production/reproduction, animal health and welfare, and the environmental impact of livestock production" [START_REF] Berckmans | Precision livestock farming technologies for welfare management in intensive livestock systems[END_REF][START_REF] Halachmi | Precision livestock farming: a 'per animal' approach using advanced monitoring technologies[END_REF] . Since feed accounts for 60 to 70% of the overall production costs of livestock production, precision livestock feeding is an important component of PLF, which consists in providing, in real-time, the individual amount of nutrients required that maximizes nutrient utilization without loss of performance, and takes into consideration changes in nutrient requirements that occur over time and variation in nutrient requirements that exits among individual [START_REF] Pomar | Precision livestock feeding, principle and practice in Poultry and Pig Nutrition. Challenges of the 21st Century[END_REF] . Thus, according to PLF, dietary requirements form a dynamic process in function of the animal's own intrinsic (e.g., genetics, health, nutritional status), and extrinsic (environmental and social stressors) factors which can be monitored in Comment citer ce document : Rauw, W. M., Rydhmer, L., Kyriazakis, I., Øverland, M., Gilbert, H., Dekkers, J. C. M., Hermesch, S., Bouquet, A., Gómez Izquierdo, E., Louveau, I., Gomez-Raya, L (2020).

Precision feeding is accomplished through automatic measurement devices for the collection of data (e.g., feed intake, body weight, analytes), data processing and computational methods that estimate the nutrient requirements based on these inputs, and feeding systems that are capable of providing (individually) the adequate amount and precise diet formulation that maximize the desired production trajectory [START_REF] Pomar | Precision livestock feeding, principle and practice in Poultry and Pig Nutrition. Challenges of the 21st Century[END_REF] . For example, by modeling the individual nutrient requirements of sows and growing pigs, feeding strategies can be formulated on a per animal basis, thus optimizing efficiency and performance [START_REF] Halachmi | Precision livestock farming: a 'per animal' approach using advanced monitoring technologies[END_REF][START_REF] Brossard | Modelling nutrient requirements for pigs to optimize feed efficiency[END_REF] . Since population feed requirements in commercial pig farming are often tailored to the most demanding pigs in order to maximize the desired population response, precision feeding will prevent pigs from receiving more nutrients than they need. This improves the efficiency of dietary nutrient utilization, reduces feeding costs, and reduces environmental consequences of the excretion of excess nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus [START_REF] Pomar | Applying precision feeding techniques in growing-finishing pig operations[END_REF] . As reviewed by Neethirajan [START_REF] Neethirajan | Recent advances in wearable sensors for animal health management[END_REF] , model input biomarkers that can be monitored on an animal include blood parameters, sweat, and saliva sensing (e.g., for analytes including sodium, potassium, lactate, glucose, cortisol content or amounts of active drugs), body temperature, behavior and movement, stress, sound, pH, and the presence of viruses and pathogens. When this information is integrated into a monitoring system it allows for producing an accurate real-time health status and disease diagnosis, keeping livestock production one step ahead of invisible diseases [START_REF] Neethirajan | Recent advances in wearable sensors for animal health management[END_REF] . Use of behavior detection, such as changes in feeding and drinking behavior, elimination behaviors, social behaviors and locomotion and posture, in monitoring of health and welfare is extensively reviewed by Matthews et al. 80 .

REDUCED INPUT -REDUCED OUTPUT PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

As discussed by Van Grinsven et al. 82 , when sustainable intensification still translates to intensification of land use, increasing external inputs, and the use of high yielding crop and animal varieties, this may be regarded as unsustainable in view of risks for the environment, especially in regions with a small yield gap, such as in Europe. In addition, several studies suggest that animals in high-density stocking with genetically high levels of production and depending on advanced animal nutrition and animal management practices to support their productive potential are more sensitive to changes in the production environment. For example, a simulation study by Kolmodin et al. 83 suggested that environmental sensitivity will increase with selection for high phenotypic production values. These observations were supported by Knap and Su 84 , who indicated that "irrespective of genetic effects, the performance of sows with a high reproductive capacity is practically always highly sensitive to environmental disturbance. (…) the performance of high-potential genotypes (and of high-capacity sows) will likely come down strongly when environmental conditions become unfavourable." This is relevant because livestock animals are required to perform in a wide variety of environmental, often suboptimal, conditions [START_REF] Knap | Robustness in pigs and what we can learn from other species[END_REF][START_REF] Mormède | Breeding for robustness: the role of cortisol[END_REF] .

For example, a shift towards warmer climates may move livestock animals out of their thermal comfort zones, resulting in reduced feed intakes. Furthermore, drought and extreme rainfall variability, and other smaller climatic changes can trigger periods of feed scarcity and changes in the nutritional quality of feeds 85 . Genotype by environment interactions have been particularly well described in dairy cattle, where high genetic potential cows that are transferred to tropical environments may lose their superiority in production (e.g., 86 ). High potential Holstein dairy cattle ate more and had higher growth rates under low environmental stress conditions (no parasites or diseases, no heat stress, and a high quality diet) than low potential Brahmans, while Brahmans had the highest realized growth of the two breeds at high levels of environmental stress 87 . Poullet et al. 88 showed that Creole pigs, which are adapted to tropical conditions, were able to maintain body weight gain under restricted feeding (a common physiological response of growing pigs facing stressful environmental conditions such as heat stress), whereas growth performance in Large White pigs, which are selected for high production performance, was significantly reduced. Similarly, Rauw et al. 89 observed that, independent of genetic line, pigs with higher growth rates in a thermoneutral environment had lower growth rates in a subsequent heat stress challenge, indicating that high producing animals in thermoneutral conditions were less robust to heat stress, whereas those robust to heat stress showed a trade-off with production under thermoneutral conditions (Figure 3). This is also supported by observations by Settar et al. 90 , who observed that broiler genotypes that gain more weight in the spring tended to gain less weight under the hot conditions of summer. Rauw et al. 89 conclude that their results emphasize the necessity to review breed choice and genetic selection objectives for improved heat tolerance to This article is protected by copyright.

Alternative feed resources

Also, the notion of feeds with high nutritional value sourced from international markets as high inputs to support the high production potential of genetically improved livestock as a solution to the sustainability issue is being challenged. According to Van Zanten et al. [START_REF] Van Zanten | Assessing environmental consequences of using co-products in animal feed[END_REF] , it is increasingly recognized that we might better not use highly productive croplands to produce human edible crops such as cereals to produce feed for livestock. High-quality feeds may involve large losses of potential human-edible food in their production. Cassidy et al. [START_REF] Cassidy | Redefining agricultural yields: from tonnes to people nourished per hectare[END_REF] found that, in 41 crops analyzed in their study, 36% of the 9.46 × 1015 calories available in plant form go to animal feed. Of this 36%, 89% is lost, such that only 4% of the calories in animal feed crops ultimately contributes to the human diet in the form of animal products [START_REF] Cassidy | Redefining agricultural yields: from tonnes to people nourished per hectare[END_REF] . According to Rifkin [START_REF] Rifkin | There's a bone to pick with meat eaters[END_REF] grain-fed cattle, pigs, and chickens are consumed mostly by affluent populations, especially in Europe, North America and Japan, calling it "a new form of human evil, with consequences possibly far greater and longer lasting than any past wrongdoing inflicted by men against their fellow human beings".

In a follow-up study, Salemdeeb et al. [START_REF] Salemdeeb | Environmental impacts of suing food waste as animal feed: a comparative analysis of food waste management options[END_REF] found that converting municipal food wastes into pig feed would lead to lower environmental and health impacts than processing waste by composting or anaerobic digestion. But in addition, the notion of unsustainability of the heavy dependency of the EU to soybean meal imports at the mercy of price volatility of international markets resulted in a motion for a resolution in the European parliament that was adopted on the 1st of January 2011, emphasizing the potential to make the supply of animal feed more reliable by making use of agro-environmental measures. This includes growing on-farm animal feed using mixed crops such as cereals and beans, encouraging extended crop rotation systems that integrate protein crop production into the system, using by-products of oilseed and agrofuels production for animal feed, and providing adequate financial support to farmers involved in sustainable or organic agricultural production [START_REF]The EU deficit: what solution for a long-standing problem?[END_REF] .

Rauw et al. [START_REF] Rauw | Feed efficiency × diet interaction on acorns vs. a commercial diet in Iberian pigs[END_REF] observed that pigs that were more feed efficient on a high quality concentrate diet were less feed efficient on a high-fiber local diet.

PROSPECTS FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

This paper discussed two alternative scenarios for improving the sustainability of future livestock production systems while aiming at feeding 11 billion people by 2100. The first scenario, a high input-high output scenario, is based on sustainable intensification, maximizing animal protein production efficiency on a limited land surface while minimizing environmental impacts. This is accomplished through precision livestock farming, using animals selected for highest production potential (animal Type B in Figure 3) that are precisely fed with genetically improved (imported) crops that are produced with improved production methods, and that are monitored for disease and welfare issues. The second scenario to sustainable animal production, a reduced input-reduced output scenario, is based on selecting livestock animals that are more robust to climate change and are better adapted to transform low quality feeds (local feeds, feedstuff co-products, feed waste) into meat (animal Type A in Figure 3). However, similar to organic farming 101 , the feasibility of this latter scenario may be contested because of reduced predicted yields, reduced production efficiency, but also higher costs due to the reorganization of the feed supply chains, the need to supplement for unbalanced nutrient quality, or the pre-treatment of feedstuffs to, for example, reduce anti-nutritional factors 102 .

National evaluation of availability of local feed and feedstuff-coproduct alternatives is a first step to evaluate the feasibility of the reduced input-reduced output scenario. For example, the Foods of Norway initiative at the Centre for Research-based Innovation in Ås, Norway 103 , has been set up with the specific aim to move Norwegian livestock production away from importing plant ingredients such as soy, and developing with novel technology novel feed ingredients from Comment citer ce document : Rauw, W. M., Rydhmer, L., Kyriazakis, I., Øverland, M., Gilbert, H., Dekkers, J. C. M., Hermesch, S., Bouquet, A., Gómez Izquierdo, E., Louveau, I., Gomez-Raya, L (2020). Prospects for sustainability of pig production in relation to climate change and novel feed resources.

Alternative feed ingredients investigated include yeast derived from spruce trees, macroalgea, rapeseed, and co-products from fish, animals, and plants (e.g., [104][105][106][107] ).

Both industrial partners 108 as well as the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food 109 are highly supportive of the initiative. Subsequently, modelling is required to evaluate the implications of different scenarios. For example, Röös et al. [START_REF] Röös | Protein futures for Western Europe: potential land use and climate impacts in 2050[END_REF]

evaluated the implications in

Western Europe for land requirement and environmental consequences of livestock intensification, assuming closure of crop yield gaps, increased livestock production efficiencies, and reduced waste at all stages, for different food consumption scenarios. They conclude that land use and greenhouse gas emissions could in principle be halved, however, it would still not be sufficient to reach EU climate change targets [START_REF] Röös | Protein futures for Western Europe: potential land use and climate impacts in 2050[END_REF] . In dairy production, an integrated farm system model software tool was developed to assess and compare the environmental and economic sustainability of farming systems based on nutrient flows from crop production, feed allocation, production responses, and manure production to predicted losses to the environment 110 . Several studies also modelled the implications for switching to local feedstuffs. For example, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) by Sasu-Boakye et al. 111 predicted that, in Sweden, local protein feed production will present an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but at a cost of increasing land occupation for feed production. Depperman et al. 102 assessed the market impacts of a complete switch to regionally produced feed in the European livestock sector. They predict that an implementation would cause a significant increase in the costs of livestock production, which may be counteracted when this is combined with a reduction in consumption of livestock products.

In addition, Ottosen et al. 113 developed a method to estimate the environmental impact from (correlated) genetic change in intensive pig production systems. Their study showed that finisher growth rate, body protein-to-lipid ratio, and energy maintenance could be important in reducing environmental impacts, but mortalities and sow robustness had little effect. Furthermore, Zira et al. 114 developed a social LCA model with an analytical hierarchical processing method for prioritizing low social sustainability antecedents of poor conditions for farm workers and animals in pig production. Based on a pilot study, the highest priority for worker issues should be given to income; for pig issues similar priority should be given to health, ambient temperature, handling at slaughter and freedom to exhibit natural behavior. In a systematic review of LCAs, McClelland et al. 115 warn that simplified LCAs that focus on a single impact category alone may result in risk misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the full extent of livestock production impacts on the environment.

Given a predicted reduction in yields, production efficiency, and increase in costs of the reduced input-reduced output scenario, it may be deducted that the high input-high output scenario of intensification of livestock production is more suitable when the aim is to increase the amount of animal protein products. However, the need for intensification towards increased output of agricultural production is challenged by Holt-Giménez et al. 116 in their paper "We already grow enough food for 10 billion people… and still can't end hunger". They state: "Hunger is caused by poverty and inequality, not scarcity. For the past two decades, the rate of This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Foley 117 estimates that up to three quadrillion additional calories can be added to the food supply, some 50% from our current supply, if humans would switch to all-plant diets. Although the overall demand for animal products is increasing at a rate that may be underestimated 118 , the overreliance on animal-based foods as a source of protein has steadily decreased in the developed world, resulting in the steady increase in the number of vegans, vegetarians, or flexitarians that focus on the health benefits of a meat-free diet, or are concerned by the treatment of confined livestock and the negative implications of livestock production to our environment 119 . Between 2014 and 2017, consumers following a low-meat diet increased from 26 to 44% in Germany, while consumers claiming to be vegan increased from 1 to 6% in the US 120 . According to a modelling study by Westbroek et al. 121 , replacing just 50% of animal-derived foods (meat, dairy products, and eggs) with plant-based foods in the European Union would result in a 40% reduction in nitrogen emissions, 25-40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 23% per capita less use of cropland for food production, and 75% reduction of the use of soymeal, while dietary changes would lower our health risks. In addition, an estimated one third of all food produced globally is either lost in the supply chain or wasted, the latter including food that deviates from what is considered the correct shape, size, or color, food that is close to or beyond the "best-before" date, and food that is disposed of at households and restaurants 122 .

Therefore, a reduced input-reduced output scenario is feasible if this is combined with a reduction in meat consumption and food waste, which was urgently called for in August 2019 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to help fight climate change 124 . Furthermore, in the reduced input-reduced output scenario, a necessary condition to maintain farm income on potentially reduced production yields and reduced production efficiency is compensation through price premiums on the products and/or savings on external inputs 82 . Napolitano et al. 125 reviewed several willingness-to-pay studies and concluded that people express interest to pay a premium for food from animals raised humanely. With this public endorsement the European Union has been able to increase the number of regulations on the welfare of farm animals over the past years 125 . Maynard et al. 126 observed that a considerable proportion of consumers are also willing to pay premiums for meats sold under a "locally produced" label. A recent study by Profeta and Hamm 127 showed that German consumers' willingness to pay a premium for animal products produced with local feeds may account for the higher prices of such products when they are sold as a differentiated product in local supply chains. However, extensive consumer communication is necessary to raise awareness on feed origin and feed imports for animal production. In addition, although the willingness to replace meat with meat substitutes, insects or cultured meat is currently low 128 , they offer a potential sustainable alternative to livestock protein production 129 . For example, according to Van Huis and Oonincx 130 , environmental advantages of insect farming compared to livestock production are lower requirements for land and water, lower greenhouse gas emissions, better feed conversion This article is protected by copyright.

Once the infrastructure for production, processing, storage, distribution, and marketing, and the legislation for their use is realized it offers a tremendous potential for cheap mass production of protein 131 . The fast-food industry has been and remains one of the major catalysts for cheap meat production 132 . Given these future novel sustainable alternatives to livestock animal protein, it may become reasonable to move towards an added general premium price or taxation on 'protein from livestock animals' to the benefit of promoting higher incomes to farmers while covering the extra costs of, politically enforced, welfare of livestock animals in sustainable production systems, to the benefit of animal production in both scenarios. In 2016, the Danish Council on Ethics proposed taxation on meat considering that consumers should make an ethical commitment to take the implications to the climate of our eating habits into account 133 . Such developments may be right around the corner, as exemplified by the resolution proposed by the Dutch political "Party for Animals" in October 2019 to increase taxation of animal slaughter with the aim to reduce meat consumption 134 .

Eventually, determination of limits to feed sourced from international markets, availability of local feed and feedstuff-coproduct alternatives, available land for crop and livestock production, and desired production levels, together with willingness to politically enforce policies through subsidies and/or penalties are some of the considerations to take into account in the development of new pig production systems.

The human population is projected to rise to nearly 11 billion people by 2100. Parallel to population growth, we evidence an increase in meat production and consumption. Livestock farming systems provide a large range of benefits, including food security, employment, and ecosystem services. Meat supplies energy, protein, and important micronutrients. However, despite these multiple benefits of meat production, an increase in the number of livestock animals directly challenges sustainability of animal production, through increased requirements for land, water, and energy, and increased anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses and waste. Sustainability of pig production can be improved through precision farming techniques in high input-high output production systems, providing, through the use of an automatic real-time management system, genetically improved individual animals with exactly the amount of high-quality resources they require for maximum production efficiency, minimizing losses and waste. For example, precision feeding will improve the efficiency of dietary nutrient utilization, and therefore reduce environmental consequences of the excretion of excess nutrients. However, technification of livestock systems is not available to the entire livestock sector. Instead, modern livestock animals are often challenged to perform in a wide variety of suboptimal environmental conditions, e.g., regarding climate and differences in feed quality and composition. In addition, the European Union is interested in stimulating on-farm animal feed production to reduce its heavy dependency on imported feedstuffs such as soybean meal. Therefore, sustainability of pig production can be improved selecting pigs with higher tolerance to climate change and with a shift from reliance on optimally formulated feeds to local feeds and feedstuff co-products of sub-optimal quality.

Firstly, increased concern of consumers by the treatment of confined livestock, health concerns of high meat intake, and the negative implications of livestock production to our environment is resulting in a steady increase in the number of vegans, vegetarians, or flexitarians, resulting in reduced meat consumption per capita in parts of the world. In addition, the FAO aims by 2030 to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, increasing food availability to feed the increase in human population. Secondly, willingness-to-pay studies suggest consumers' willingness to pay a premium for animal products produced with local feeds, which may account for the higher prices of such products when they are sold as a differentiated product. Lastly, recent developments in the production of meat substitutes offers the potential for cheap mass production of protein, proving the opportunity to add a premium price or taxation on 'protein from livestock animals' to the benefit of promoting higher incomes to farmers while covering increased costs of sustainable production systems.

Evaluation of availability of, and limits to production resources together with willingness to politically enforce policies may result in the design of new pig farming systems in which both production scenarios can co-exist. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
