Poster prepared by the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish, October 2012
Citation preview
• 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

• Smallholder dairy in Tanzania, India and Nicaragua
• Small and medium-‐scale aquaculture in Egypt and Bangladesh
• Smallholder pigs in Vietnam and Uganda
• Smallholder goats and sheep in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso
‘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
