Trends and prospects for livestock systems in the semi-arid tropics of sub-Saharan Africa
Livestock provide many benefits to society, but at the same time, they generate considerable pressure on land, water and biomass resources and are responsible for 18 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. The total demand for livestock products may almost double by 2050, mostly in the develop...
