Livestock, as part of agriculture, represents a threat towards the environment and is one of the main drivers for deforestation in the world, either from grazing, fodder and feed production. The life cycle of livestock also requires large amounts of water and has a severe impact on the atmosphere of our planet. If not properly managed, livestock production could cripple the life supporting systems of our biosphere and all other living beings sharing our planet.

RUVIVAL - Sustainable Rural Development and highly productive New Towns is concerned with restoring degraded areas and creating new not just inhabitable, but liveable spaces. It is an e-learning project of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) in cooperation with the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
