摘要：

Based on the analysis of animal welfare legislation and private organic and non-organic standards in the EU funded project EconWelfare areas for improvement of animal welfare in organic farming regulations and standards were identified. A more outcome-oriented approach to improve animal welfare for cattle with a checklist for inspectors and farmers was tested and evaluated in Switzerland. Proposals are made how to improve animal welfare on organic farms in standard setting and with complimentary assessment tools. Currently, certification examines in detail whether thresholds have been breached; in future it could rather determine where a farm is along the path to optimisation and what can be further improved.
