Livestock are always intended to provide animal protein for human consumption. In the context of worldpopulation growth and a decrease in the agricultural area (SDES, 2015), livestock farming is implicatedin its consumption of agricultural land and cereals that could be directly used for human consumption.This study, based on a sample of farms in organic farming, aimed at i) characterizing the differentfeeding systems, ii) identifying and quantifying the different types of animal feed in competition withhuman food, and iii) measuring feed use efficiency as proposed by Laisse et al. (2017) and Mottet et al.(2017). The efficiency of areas used for human consumption is based on a fixed assumption that onlypermanent grassland is non-competitive...
