More food is needed
In 2007, ~ 6 billion people ~ 21 billion food animals
~ 50 M tonnes aquaculture
In 2020
demand for animal proteinwill increase 50%
primarily in developingcountries > 30 billion animals required undetermined M tonnes

Millennium Development Goals
Eradicate extreme poverty & hunger- 1 billion people are hungry Poor people, especially young
children and their mothers in
developing countries, are notconsuming enough animal-basedfood
Livestock provide a pathway outof poverty for some smallholders,and policymakers need toconsider the different roles thatlivestock play in supportinglivelihoods

Millennium Development GoalsAchieve universal primary education Learning ability of rural children is compromised by
hunger and malnutrition 72 million primary school age children do not
attend school
Over four out of five of these children live in rural areas(the urban-rural divide ...) Brain growth & cognitive abilities depend on quality nutrition Food security and education need to be tackled
simultaneously Local veterinarians & FAO lead the Education for Rural People
(ERP) program that increased access to quality education andskills training for all rural children

Millennium Development GoalsPromote gender equality and empower women Most livestock keepers are women Rural women are more likely to own poultry and small
ruminants than large animals FAO recognizes the import role of rural women (and men) in
efforts to improve food security, reduce poverty, and fuel socialand economic development
Local veterinarians & FAO builds technical capacityamong member countries to address genderissues in policy and programme development;work directly with rural women and men tostrengthen their agricultural and livelihoodsskills; assist member countries to identify andremove obstacles to womens equal participation& decision-making; and support the formulationof gender-sensitive national and regional agricultural policies

Millennium Development GoalsReduce child mortality Under-nutrition is estimated to be an underlying
cause in more than one-third of all deaths inchildren under five
Protein, vitamins, micronutrients from animals
are of high quality & reduce child mortality Local veterinarians & FAO lead programs to
improve household food security & nutritionwhich reduces child under-nutrition & increase
childrens chances of growing to adulthood Linking household food security with nutrition
education improves infant & early childhoodcomplementary feeding by using using locallyavailable and affordable foods

Millennium Development GoalsImprove maternal health About 4 5 billion people in the world are deficient in
iron, which is essential especially for the health ofpregnant and lactating women and for the physicaland cognitive development of young children (SCN, 2004)
Hunger and malnutrition have been found to increase boththe incidence and the fatality rate of the conditions thatcause up to 80 percent of maternal deaths
This and other important nutrients are more readily available
in meat, milk and eggs than in plant-based foods Local veterinarians & FAO lead programmes to promote food
security, increase nutritional awareness, increase access toaffordable animal-based food and empowers women to
obtain better health care, education & social services 14

Millennium Development GoalsCombat HIV/AIDS and other diseases 95% of people living with & dying of HIV and AIDS
are in developing countries Up to 80% of the people in the most
affected countries depend on agriculturefor their subsistence so the pandemicaffects household capacity to produceand buy food
In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV is depletingthe region of its food producers &farmers,
decimating the agricultural labour force Local veterinarians & FAO support policy
makers and programme planners toincorporate HIV, malaria & other disease considerationsinto food, nutrition & agriculture policies andprogrammes

Ensure Environmental Sustainability16
8/11/2019 1newman Lubroth Wvc Mdgsmall
17/20
Natural resources and ecosystems must be managed
sustainably to meet environmental, social economic,& food requirements needs Climate change, increased water scarcity and conflicts over access
to resources all pose challenges to environmental sustainabilityand food security
Hunger and poverty often compel the poor to over-exploit theresources on which their own livelihoods depend
Local veterinarians & FAO support sustainable natural resourcemanagement including agricultural water use efficiency; land &soil productivity; sustainable forest management, aquaculture &inland fisheries; integrated crop and livestock systems; pesticidemanagement & watershed management and the majorenvironmental conventions and multilateral environmental
agreements (CMS, Ramsar, CBD, etc.)
