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

1. More
meat,
milk
and
fish
by
and
for
the
poor
Our
approach
• A
‘solution-driven research with development’
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
Opportuni)es
for
impact
• 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

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

in
East
Africa
