Climate change will have severe impacts in many parts of the tropics and subtropics. Despite the importance of livestock to poor people and the magnitude of the changes that are likely to befall livestock systems, the intersection of climate change and livestock is a relatively neglected research...

The livestock-climate-poverty nexus: A discussion paper on ILRI research in relation to climate change
There is general consensus that the impacts of climate change on agriculture will add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty, particularly in Africa. It is often assumed that these changes will influence agriculture at a broad scale, such that r...

Better policy and management options for pastoral lands: assessing trade-offs between poverty alleviation and wildlife conservation
This study which is commissioned by DFID (Department for International Development) in 2001 is conducted to produce sets of maps locating significant populations of poor livestock keepers in the world, and to assess in very broad terms how these populations are likely to change over the next thre...
The impacts of climate change on agriculture may add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty.
