Livestock research priorities for Africa (CAADP Pillar 4)
- Natural Resource Management;
- Mitigation of risks and pre + post-harvest losses;
- Improving accessibility and efficiency of agric markets;
- Smallholder small ruminants in Mali and Ethiopia
- Smallholder aquaculture in Uganda and Egypt
Editor's Notes
- Research is one of the key support functions. Recognize that it must be adequately integrated with the other functions for its outputs to translate into impact—increased agricultural productivity. On its own research in unlikely to deliver the desired impact. A key question is how should the research, advisory services and AET be organized to assure maximum attainable benefits.
- This is part of the evidence that with the right mix of interventions leading to increased agricultural productivity, countries can achieve reduction in poverty and hunger and increased household income. Ghana has already achieved the MDG 1 target on hunger and aiming for middle-income country status.
- In Africa most of the production increase (80%) has come from expansion of arable land. The outcome is deforestation with local and global consequences e.g. Climate change. This underscores the need for improving productivity.
- These are largely support functions. They are developed to support research for development on the broad themes captured on the next slide.
- These are broad research themes Strengthened capacities: capacity to build capacity. Mind-set changes
- Strategic documents. The CAADP Pillar IV strategy is the missing strategic document to guide FARA’s programmes, in addition to strategic plan and MTOP.
- Sustainable intensification of smallholder crop-livestock systemsOutcomesBetter options for increasing the productivity of mixed crop-livestock systems, and the incomes they generate, in different settingsBetter understanding of the tradeoffs among food, feed, fuel and conservation agriculture
- Outcomes can come at different levels and scales. We need to pay attention to making sure we accomplish different necessary steps properly and think about how to speed up the overall process of going-to-scale. To keep the momentum we need to manage the communication and expectations moving forward.What can speed up the process. Engaging and being good at partnerships. Finding more resources (people and money). Livestock and crop researchers together produce ‘food-feed’ crop varieties These ‘dual-purpose’ crops are dispersed through seed systems And linked to livestock feed trader systems The research is expanded to different crops and how they might be combined And adopted in private-sector feed formulation – value-chain hubs and out-scaling through private and public development programs
