What’s special about animal/smallholder food?
•90% of animal products are produced
and consumed in the same country or
region
•Most are produced by smallholders
•Over 70% of livestock products
are sold ‘informally’
•Almost 1 billion rely on livestock for
livelihoods
•43% of the agricultural workforce
is female
Demand for livestock commodities in developing
economies will be met – the only question is how
Scenario #1
Meeting livestock demand by
importing livestock products
Scenario #2
Meeting livestock demand by
importing livestock industrial production know-how
Scenario #3
Meeting livestock demand by
transforming smallholder livestock systems
Policy conversations
…………..the Sustainable Development
Goals………….
……………livestock ‘bads’ ……………and
confusing messages………………….
Livestock and inclusive,
sustainable
economic growth
Livestock and equitable
livelihoods
Animal source foods for
nutrition and health
Livestock and sustainable
ecosystems
Challenges and opportunities
• Communicating:
• Diversity
• Complexity
• Balancing messages
• ‘goods’
• ‘bads’
• Evidence based; not defensive
• Opportunities (transition)
Sustainable animal food systems
are a must
• Productivity and efficiency:
– Sufficient food with lower
environmental foot print: Animal
health, genetics, feeding
• Animal source foods:
– Safe, not wasted and consumed in
appropriate quantities
• Emerging challenges:
– Zoonotic diseases
– Anti-Microbial Resistance
