Profiting from Animal Welfare: an Animal-based Perspective

The animal welfare debate has been developing in the UK since the 18 century and for much of that time the emphasis has been on the use of legislation to protect animals. More recently in farm animals there has been a focus on using market-led approaches to improve animal welfare. In this paper we argue that there is a strong case for examining more closely supply-side solutions to improving an...

Farm animal genetic and genomic resources from an agroecological perspective

and Zerjal T (2015) Farm animal genetic and genomic resources from an agroecological perspective. Agroecology, as a scientific approach, relies on a better knowledge of biodiversity at all levels of organization and function, in order to better manage agricultural production systems, from farm scale to landscape. Ecological concepts such as functional redundancy, complementary use of resources,...

A Perspective from Computer Science

Since Alan Turing, computer scientists have been interested in understanding natural intelligence by reproducing it in machine form. The fi eld of artifi cial intelligence is characterized, to a large extent, by search algorithms. As search is a computational process, this too has been well studied as part of theoretical computer science, leading to famous results on the computational hardness ...
