•  Meat,  milk  and  fish  are  among  agricultural  products  with  the  highest  value  globally  

•  Animal-­‐source  foods  provide  cri=cal  inputs  to  the  health  of  malnourished  people,  especially  women  and  children  

•  Mee=ng  the  rapidly  increasing  demand  for  animal-­‐source  foods  in  developing  countries  is  an  opportunity  for  the  poor  to  earn  a  be>er  living  

•  Nearly  1  billion  (70%)  of  the  world’s  1.4  billion  extremely  poor  people  depend  on  livestock  

•  400  million  people  in  Africa  and  South  Asia  depend  on  fish  for  most  of  their  animal  protein    

•  156  million  landless  people  keep  livestock    

•  Two-­‐thirds  of  the  world’s  livestock  keepers    are  rural  women  

Opportuni)es  for  impact  

Our  approach  •  A  whole  value  chain  approach  including  producers,  input  and  service  providers,  traders,  processors,  and  consumers  

•  A  focus  on  a  few  selected  livestock  and  fish  value  chains  with  poten=al  for  pro-­‐poor  transforma=on  to  demonstrate  impact  

•  Working  with  development  partners  to  use  research  to  quickly  design  integrated  interven=ons  and  generate  evidence  of  their  benefits  for  taking  to  scale  

•  Basic  and  adap=ve  research  on  animal  health,  feeds,  gene=cs,    gender  and  targe=ng  priori=zed  by  the  needs  of  the  target  value  chain

‘solution-driven research with development’

More  meat,  milk  and  fish  by  and  for  the  poor  

 

Meat,  milk  and  fish  are  cri=cal  to  poor  people  as  food  and  income.  They  provide  cri=cal  inputs  in  the  diets  of  the  poor,  especially  those  who  are  malnourished.      The  Challenge:  to  ensure  the  poor  can  have  be>er  access  to  enough  and  affordable  animal-­‐source  foods  as  popula=ons  increase,  resources  for  producing  them  become  more  constrained  and  demand  for  these  foods  rises.    Part  of  the  solu=on  will  come  from  increased  produc=vity  in  the  small-­‐scale  produc=on  and  marke=ng  systems  that  many  poor  rely  on  for  their  animal-­‐source  foods.    

 We  iden)fy  opportuni)es  to  improve  and  transform  these  

systems  to  be9er  meet  the  needs  of  the  poor.    

Key  results  •  Progress  in  contribu=on  to  new  technologies  and  improved  

prac=ces  such  as  the  release  of  new  =lapia  strains  to  be  widely  used  in  Asia    

•  Deployment  of  vaccines  against  the  major  killers  of  ca>le  in  eastern  and  central  Africa  dairy  value  chains      

•  Proof-­‐of-­‐concept  in  breeding  of  tropical  pasture  grass  that  can  significantly  suppress  greenhouse-­‐gas  emissions  

•  Qualita=ve  evidence  demonstra=ng  posi=ve  benefits  of  dairying  and  improved  milk  safety  in  East  Africa
