The economics of farm animal genetic resource conservation and sustainable use: why is it important and what have we learned?
Livestock diversity provides genetic alternatives that facilitate sustainable agricultural development. Despite this, animal genetic resources (AnGR) are being depleted at alarming rates. Subsidises available to production systems based on imported breeds are of several orders of magnitude greate...

Introduction and overview to the special issue on animal genetic resources
The importance of AnGR valuation and its policy applications: Economics is about choice and the efficient allocation of scarce resources that have alternative uses. Rationally speaking, choices should be made in such a way as to maximise the "utility" or "welfare" obtained. The large number of An...

Genetic erosion of domestic animal diversity has placed 30% of the world's breeds at risk of extinction, often as a result of government policy/programmes. Conservation and sustainable development of animal genetic resources (AnGR) require a broad focus that includes the many 'adaptive' breeds th...
