Farmers and animals: representations

Editions Educagri, 2007

DVD, 33 mins.

The real subject of this film is how to farm differently. The film consists of commentary by pig and poultry farmers regarding new ways of seeing relations with animals, their status, and their farm conditions. In particular, we learn that it is possible to reduce the confinement of animals, and to implement improved farm organisation that is respectful to animals and man. This DVD allows the status of animals and animal welfare to be coherently introduced into debates on the profession of farming, with the backdrop of more and more consumers and members of the general public aspiring to a less coercive and less intensive method of farming.

Audience: Zootechnical teachers and trainers, development agencies.
