| In this chapter we first give an overview of different interpretations of animal welfare and their relation to different lay and expert approaches to animal welfare. The importance of values to animal welfare is discussed and confronted with the role of science and the scientific ideals of value-freedom and objectivity. The interpretations of animal welfare are then compared with different frameworks from bio-ethics, which can help clarify the moral aspects of animal welfare. The values of organic farming are then discussed as a departure point for a discussion of what a relevant view of animal welfare might be like, in the context of organic farming. This reveals obvious conflicts between different values within organic farming, and some of these dilemmas... |

| The recent development and growth of organic livestock farming and the related development of national and international regulations has fuelled discussions among scientists and philosophers concerning the proper conceptualisation of animal welfare. These discussions on livestock welfare in organic farming draw on the conventional discussions and disputes on animal welfare, which involve issues such as different definitions of welfare (clinical health, absence of suffering, sum of positive and negative experiences, etc.), the possibility for objective measures of animal welfare and the acceptable level of welfare. It seems clear that livestock welfare is a value-laden concept and that animal welfare science cannot be made independent of questions of values... |

| Die Fischbestände in den Weltmeeren sind längst übernutzt. Aquakultur scheint eine willkommene Alternative zu sein. Seit Jahrzehnten ist sie ein Wachstumssektor – auch in der ökologischen Fischzucht. Bio-Aquakultur wird heute weltweit praktiziert, beschränkt sich jedoch nach wie vor auf wenige Arten und Produktionssysteme und macht insgesamt nur einen kleinen Bruchteil der gesamten Aquakultur aus. Eine großflächige Umstellung wäre aus Gründen des Umweltschutzes, der Tiergerechtheit, der Einkommenssicherung von Kleinbauern sowie der Erzeugung qualitativ hochwertiger Lebensmittel sinnvoll. Ein wachsender Markt erfordert jedoch die Festlegung entsprechender Qualitätsstandards. Seit August 2009 sind im Rahmen der EU-Ökoverordnung auch Regelungen für die... |

| This workshop was a .The focus of the final SAFO workshop was the conclusions and main messages from the SAFO network that were presented and further discussed in a one day satellite workshop to the Joint Organic Congress ‘Organic Farming and European Rural Development’ in Denmark. David Younie presented a report from the five roadshows held in new and preaccession member states, while Albert Sundrum presented the activities and recommendations of the working group on standard development. Both papers highlight the diversity in physical and social conditions throughout Europe, and how this diversity affects organic livestock systems. Recognising this diversity has formed the basis for the discussions throughout the project, and acts as a background for... |

| Abstract Farm animals make importance contributions to organic farming systems. This thesis deals with the value and aims of organic farming in relation to animal welfare concerns. The organic standards and other publications from the organic movement are analyzed to define basic values. These are related to ethical theory, and ecocentric ethics is suggested as an ethical position for organic farming. It is concluded that although the main concern is to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly farming systems, animal welfare is an important aim in organic farming. Two studies have been made of Swedish organic livestock farmers to examine their values and beliefs about animal husbandry and animal welfare. The first study comprised 15... |

| In 2005, The International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) developed four new ethical principles of organic agriculture to guide its future development: the principles of health, ecology, care, and fairness. The key distinctive concept of animal welfare in organic agriculture combines naturalness and human care, and can be linked meaningfully with these principles. In practice, a number of challenges are connected with making organic livestock systems work. These challenges are particularly dominant in immature agro-ecological systems, for example those that are characterized by industrialization and monoculture. Some of the current challenges are partly created by shortages of land and manure, which encourage zero-grazing and other... |
