Animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity contributes in many ways to human survival and well-being. However, 32% of livestock breeds are threatened. Such an irreversible loss of genetic diversity reduces opportunities to improve food security, reduce poverty and shift towards sustainable agricult...

This paper adapts the safe minimum standard (SMS) approach so as to explore its use as a potential policy decision support tool that can be applied to issues related to the conservation and sustainable use of farm animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity. Empirical SMS cost estimates are obtained...
