Abstract The ambition of the foresight on livestock farming was to rethink the place, the roles of livestock and how it should be transformed to fully contribute to the development of more sustainable agri-food systems. It was also to identify cross-disciplinary research themes that explore promising fronts of science or methodologies to solve knowledge locks. The foresight was managed by a group of 15 researchers and mobilized a hundred researchers. Based on an analysis of the context and the drivers for the evolution of the systems, we propose a new conceptual framework to think about innovations. Livestock farming must be part of circular agri-food systems in which it must contribute, beyond an increased efficiency of production factors, to the preservation of the quality of the resources and to the production of a food at an affordable price. Systems need to be rethought to be climate-smart and to respond to the health and welfare challenges of animals and people, rethink the linkages between livestock, crop production and territories to maximize recycling and rethink livestock linkages, processing and consumption of livestock products. Innovations should be based on the principles of agro-ecology supplemented by those of the circular economy and mobilizing levers of (bio) technologies and organizational innovation. The text describes 4 major scientific priorities with their research issues and produces recommendations for an action plan.
