FAO 2006

Rosegrant et al. 2009

The 4 billion people who live on less than US$10 a day (primarily in developing countries) represent a food market of about $2.9 trillion per year. (Hammond et al. 2007)

• 17 billion domestic animals• Asset value $1.4 trillion• Employs 1.3 billion people

Economic opportunities in the livestock sector

4 out of 5 of the highest valueglobal commodities are livestock

Provides food and nutritional security BUT overconsumption can cause obesity

Powers economic developmentBUT equitable development can be a challenge

Improves human healthBUT animal-human/emerging diseases and unsafe foods need to be addressed

Enhances the environmentBUT pollution, land/water degradation,GHG emissions and biodiversity lossesmust be greatly reduced

Mission and vision

ILRI envisions a world where all people have access to enough food and livelihood options to

fulfill their potential.

ILRI’s mission is to improve food and nutritional security and to reduce poverty in developing

countries through research for efficient, safe and sustainable use of livestock—ensuring better

lives through livestock.

Strategic objective 1

ILRI and its partners will develop, test, adapt and promote science-based practices that—being sustainable and scalable—achieve better lives through livestock.


ILRI and its partners will provide compelling scientific evidence in ways that persuade decision-makers—from farms to boardrooms and parliaments—that smarter policies and bigger livestock investments can deliver significant socio-economic, health and environmental dividends to both poor nations and households.


ILRI and its partners will work to increase capacity amongst ILRI’s key stakeholders and the institute itself so that they can make better use of livestock science and investments for better lives through livestock.

More milk, meat, and fish by and for the poor

Led by ILRI with CIAT, ICARDA and WorldFish

Livestock & Fish CRP

Innovating to produce more meat, milk and fish:

• For the poor: will there be sufficient affordable animal-source foods on the table of the poor to 2050 for healthy diets?

• By the poor: can we demonstrate that smallholders and the poor—and especially women-- can contribute to and benefit from producing and delivering a share of that food?

Growth scenarios for livestock systems

• ‘Strong growth’– Where good market access and

increasing productivity provide opportunities for continued smallholder participation.

• ‘Fragile growth’– Where remoteness, marginal land

resources or agroclimatic vulnerability restrict intensification.

• ‘High growth with externalities’– Fast changing livestock systems

potentially damaging the environment and human health

• Different research and development challenges for poverty, food security, health and nutrition, environment
