If many of the resorts and more urban towns have to be rebuilt – should the keeping of urban and peri-urban animals be discouraged?

Keeping farm animals in urban areas poses both environmental and human health risks and the practice should not be encouraged. Any rebuilding of existing or new towns should take the opportunity to explore introducing by-laws that either restrict or prohibit keeping farm livestock in urban environments. It is also important to the rapid spread of zoonotic diseases. In peri urban areas it depends on the control measures that could be established for control of zoonotic diseases, on the importance of animal production for urban consumption and for small holders livelihoods.
