The world is under significant pressure. The human population is projected to increase by 30% over the next quarter of a century to reach 8.3 billion by 2030 (UNPP, 2008). During this period, in developing countries, there is likely to be a rapid increase in demand for livestock products, driven ...

Livestock production systems in Africa are experiencing rapid changes in structure and function due to increased demands for livestock products from a more prosperous and ever-increasing human population. Some of these changes could lead to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. This paper expl...

We outline the need for generic crop-livestock systems databases and data standards for comprehensive systems analysis in developing countries. We also indicate the type of data that such databases should contain and review how they can be collected. We describe IMPACT, a database and analysis to...

Many research and development agencies are committed to halving the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Knowledge of where the poor are, and what characterises them, is patchy at best. Here we describe a global livestock and poverty mapping study designed to assist in targeting re...
