Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) In a circular economy farm animals' main role is to convert materials that cannot be eaten by people, such as pasture, by-products and crop residues, into meat, milk and eggs. The current use of over 50% of EU cereal production as animal feed runs counter to circular economy principles as animals convert these crops very inefficiently into meat, milk and eggs.
