Intensive Livestock Production in Transition: Analyses, Concepts and Strategies for Sustainability Transformation of the Livestock Value Chain
暫譯: 轉型中的集約化畜牧生產：可持續轉型的分析、概念與策略在畜牧價值鏈中的應用

目前，集約化畜牧生產區正面臨重大轉型過程。在氣候變遷、行星邊界、政治衝突與危機以及不斷增長的人口背景下，需要建立可持續、有效且具韌性的農食系統。為了實現這一目標，社會、政治、經濟、農業和科學都面臨挑戰。只有採取整體性、系統性和參與式的策略，才能實現現有系統的轉型。本書分析了當前的轉型過程及其驅動因素和障礙，並提供了針對畜牧業的新整合策略、概念、商業模式和發展的範例。最後，本書指出了建立可持續畜牧業的行動領域。本書將吸引科學、社會、經濟、政策、農業產業、獸醫實踐和農業的相關利益相關者。

Dr. rer. nat. Barbara J. Grabkowsky is Director of the "Center for Sustainability Transformation in Agrifood Systems" at the University of Vechta, Germany. She holds a master degree in Environmental Sciences and a doctoral degree in Biosecurity and Risk Assessment in livestock production systems.
Her profile combines academic expertise with several years of international leadership experience in the value chain for animal-based food, where she was responsible for sustainability, food safety, and cross-sector collaboration. This dual perspective enables her to connect scientific and entrepreneurial thinking -- a key asset for advancing sustainability transformations.
Dr. Grabkowsky follows a systemic and transdisciplinary approach, integrating ecological, political, social, and economic dimensions. Her work focuses on the transformation of intensive agricultural regions, resilient agrifood systems, and educational formats that support change management and transformative learning. A central aim of her work is to foster "out-of-the-box-thinking" for developing holistic, practicable solutions for multidimensional challenges.
She has contributed to expert groups at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). She is also active in national boards and advisory bodies with a focus on water protection, nature conservation, and sustainability education -- and contributes to the discourse on the future of agriculture and food systems as a lecturer, speaker, and author.

Prof. Dr. med. vet. Thomas Blaha is Professor Emeritus at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation, Germany, where he held the Chair of Epidemiology at the Field Station in Bakum. Before that, he served as a university professor at the University of Minnesota (USA). Since 2007, he has been Chairman of the Veterinary Association for Animal Protection (TVT) and is deeply committed to advancing animal welfare and health in national and international contexts. Prof. Blaha is the author and editor of more than 250 scientific publications and three books on animal health and welfare.
He is a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Public Health (ECVPH) as well as a founding member and Diplomate of the European College of Porcine Health Management (ECPHM). In addition, he has been an active member of the Animal Welfare Working Group (AWWG) of the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) for five years, and he served on several ad-hoc working groups of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in Parma. He is also a former President of the International Society of Animal Hygiene.
Prof. Blaha's long-standing international experience, his extensive professional network, and his profound expertise make him a pioneering voice in the field. His holistic thinking has significantly influenced how sustainable and ethically responsible livestock systems can be designed in light of societal transformation processes. He continues to serve as a thought leader in developing future-proof approaches to animal husbandry that align with broader sustainability goals.

巴巴拉·J·格拉布科夫斯基博士是德國維赫塔大學「農食品系統可持續轉型中心」的主任。她擁有環境科學碩士學位及畜牧生產系統生物安全與風險評估的博士學位。
她的專業背景結合了學術專長與多年在動物性食品價值鏈上的國際領導經驗，負責可持續性、食品安全及跨部門合作。這種雙重視角使她能夠連結科學與企業思維，這是推進可持續轉型的關鍵資產。
格拉布科夫斯基博士採取系統性和跨學科的方法，整合生態、政治、社會和經濟層面。她的工作重點在於轉型密集農業區域、韌性農食品系統，以及支持變革管理和轉型學習的教育形式。她工作的核心目標是促進「跳出框架思考」，以開發針對多維挑戰的整體可行解決方案。
她曾參與歐洲食品安全局（EFSA）和聯合國糧食及農業組織（FAO）的專家小組。她也活躍於國家委員會和諮詢機構，專注於水資源保護、自然保育和可持續教育，並作為講師、演講者和作者，參與農業和食品系統未來的討論。

托馬斯·布拉哈醫學博士是德國漢諾威獸醫學大學基金會的名譽教授，曾擔任巴庫姆野外站流行病學講座的教授。在此之前，他曾在美國明尼蘇達大學擔任大學教授。自2007年以來，他一直擔任動物保護獸醫協會（TVT）的主席，並在國內外積極推進動物福利和健康。布拉哈教授是超過250篇科學出版物和三本有關動物健康與福利的書籍的作者和編輯。
他是歐洲獸醫公共衛生學院（ECVPH）的專業會員，也是歐洲豬健康管理學院（ECPHM）的創始成員和專業會員。此外，他還是歐洲獸醫聯合會（FVE）動物福利工作組（AWWG）的活躍成員，並在帕爾馬的歐洲食品安全局（EFSA）多個臨時工作組中任職。他也是國際動物衛生學會的前任會長。
布拉哈教授的長期國際經驗、廣泛的專業網絡和深厚的專業知識使他成為該領域的先驅聲音。他的整體思維顯著影響了如何在社會轉型過程中設計可持續和倫理負責的畜牧系統。他繼續作為思想領袖，發展與更廣泛的可持續目標相一致的未來導向的畜牧方法。
