Notes that the production of cereals and soy as feed for intensively reared livestock leads to emissions of greenhouse gases due to the use of nitrogen fertilisers in producing these crops and deforestation caused by the increasing demand for soy; considers that, because of its dependence on cereals and soy, intensive livestock production is an inefficient use of land, water and energy; calls on the Commission, therefore, to encourage more extensive animal farming which will benefit animal welfare, climate change, sustainability and the environment;
