World Vitals / Livestock scale and welfare indicators
Animal Welfare
Map slaughter, production systems, and welfare-linked animal agriculture indicators.
What this page shows
Animal welfare data needs careful attribution because production totals, welfare standards, and impact estimates come from different source classes.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
Animal Welfare over time and in context
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Forest area has slowly declined as a share of land
Forest area is a land-system pressure indicator, not a climate-emissions proxy.

Freshwater withdrawals measure water stress pressure
Withdrawals as a share of internal resources are a stress signal, not a household-access measure.

Basic drinking-water access has improved
Basic access and safely managed access need to be charted separately because they answer different questions.

Safely managed water remains the harder target
This series is stricter than basic access and better explains service quality gaps.

Basic sanitation has improved but remains incomplete
Sanitation charts should sit beside water charts, not be hidden inside a generic basic-needs score.

Undernourishment remains a persistent food-security signal

Water and sanitation access improved together
Paired annual observations show whether basic water and sanitation progress are moving together.

Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
