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 productsare sold ‘informally’
•Almost 1 billion rely on livestock for livelihoods
•43% of the agricultural workforceis female
Demand for livestock commodities in developing economies will be met – the only question is how
Scenario #1Meeting livestock demand byimporting livestock products
Scenario #2Meeting livestock demand by
importing livestock industrial production know-how
Scenario #3Meeting 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
