Dear Colleagues,
Attached, I will make some comments to your VO Draft to the V0 draft of the report „Reducing inequalities for food security and nutrition“:
- I miss the term food safety in the title of the draft (e.g.: „Reducing inequalities for food security, food safety and nutrition“)
- There is no sense of enough food, if the food is not safe (e.g. it contains some toxic or undesirable substances, e.g. contaminants etc.). Food safety needs a certain attention in your paper.
- The term „Human edible Fraction“ of all animal feeds should be also mentioned or considered in the adequate text or in tables; see some selected references, such as:
CAST (Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, 1999) Animal agricultural and global food supply. Talk Force Report No 135; July 1999, CAST, Ames. IA, USA
Ertle, P., Klocker, H., Hörtenhuber, S., Knaus, W., Zöllitsch, W. (2015) The net contribution of dairy production to human food supply: The case of Austrian dairy farms. Agricultural Systems 137, 119 - 125
Wilkinson, J.M. (2011) Re-defining deficiency of feed use by livestock. Animal 5, 1014 – 1022
- In general, the food/feed competition between men and animals should be mentioned and if possible, the feed/food competition between men and animals should be avoided.
- Did we show/mention enough activities to improve/increase the food production (such as plant production incl. plant breeding etc.).
