Abstract

 Everyone knows that agriculture is vital for feeding and clothing people and supplying raw materials for industry, and its importance will remain. However, intensifying agriculture leads to issues like pollution, residues, and animal welfare problems. These issues are why unconventional livestock production is becoming more common. For instance, small family farms focusing on rabbit breeding are emerging as a good example. They highlight excellent breeding abilities, easy care, and nutritious meat essential for convalescent nutrition. Following the European Union's advice, small farms have a chance to earn extra income by raising rabbits or other animals unconventionally. This supports small farms, boosts rural development, sustains local communities, and helps the environment. It's widely acknowledged that agriculture is crucial for providing food, clothing, and raw materials, and its importance will persist. But intensified agriculture brings challenges like pollution and animal welfare issues, pushing for alternative livestock practices.
