The rapidly changing nature of animal production systems,
especially increasing intensification and globalization, is playing
out in complex ways around the world. Over the last century,
livestock keeping evolved from a means of harnessing marginal
resources to produce items for local consumption to a key component
of global food chains. "Livestock in a Changing Landscape" offers a
comprehensive examination of these important and far-reaching
trends. The books are an outgrowth of a collaborative effort
involving international nongovernmental organizations including the
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO), the
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the Swiss
College of Agriculture (SHL), the French Agricultural Research
Centre for International Development (CIRAD), and the Scientific
Committee for Problems of the Environment (SCOPE). "Volume 1"
examines the forces shaping change in livestock production and
management; the resulting impacts on landscapes, land use, and
social systems; and potential policy and management responses.
"Volume 2" explores needs and draws experience from region-specific
contexts and detailed case studies. The case studies describe how
drivers and consequences of change play out in specific
geographical areas, and how public and private responses are shaped
and implemented. Together, the volumes present new, sustainable
approaches to the challenges created by fundamental shifts in
livestock management and production, and represent an essential
resource for policy makers, industry managers, and academics
involved with this issue.
