Sommario/riassunto

This e-book analyses animal welfare for European pig farming and contains six papers for each of the six project members involved (France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom). All papers examine the farmers' views and attitudes in relation to a range of animal welfare issues such as farmers' understanding of good farming and production, farmers' participation in different types of schemes and the resultant impact on farmers' views and the alternative definitions and practices of animal welfare.
