Setting directions and goals for animal production systems requires the integration of information achieved through internal and external processes. The importance of stakeholder input in setting goals for sustainable animal production systems should not be overlooked by the agricultural animal industries. Stakeholders play an integral role in setting the course for many aspects of animal production, from influencing consumer preferences to setting public policy. The Socially Sustainable Egg Production Project (SSEP) involved the development of white papers on various aspects of egg production, followed by a stakeholder workshop to help frame the issues for the future of sustainable egg production. Representatives from the environmental, food safety, food retail, consumer, animal welfare, and the general farm and egg production sectors participated with members of the SSEP coordination team in a 1.5-d workshop to explore socially sustainable egg production. This paper reviews the published literature on values integration methodologies and the lessons learned from animal welfare assessment models. The integration method used for the SSEP stakeholder workshop and its outcome are then summarized. The method used for the SSEP stakeholder workshop can be used to obtain stakeholder input on sustainable production in other farm animal industries.
设定动物生产系统的方向和目标需要整合通过内部和外部流程获得的信息。利益相关者的投入对于为可持续动物生产系统设定目标非常重要，农业动物产业不应忽视这一点。利益相关者在许多方面都发挥着至关重要的作用，从影响消费者偏好到制定公共政策。社会可持续鸡蛋生产项目（SSEP）涉及编写关于鸡蛋生产各个方面的白皮书，然后举办利益相关者研讨会，以帮助确定可持续鸡蛋生产的未来问题。来自环境、食品安全、食品零售、消费者、动物福利以及普通农场和鸡蛋生产部门的代表与 SSEP 协调团队的成员一起参加了为期 1.5 天的研讨会，探讨社会可持续鸡蛋生产。本文回顾了关于价值观整合方法的已发表文献以及动物福利评估模型的经验教训。然后总结了用于 SSEP 利益相关者研讨会的整合方法及其结果。用于 SSEP 利益相关者研讨会的方法可用于获取其他农场动物产业可持续生产的利益相关者投入。
