Economic valuation of sheep genetic resources: implications for sustainable utilization in the Kenyan semi-arid tropics.
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...

Feeding the household, growing the business, or just showing off? Farmers' motivations for crop diversity choices in Papua New Guinea
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...
