This document outlines Jimmy W. Smith's presentation on ILRI's future role in the emerging global context. It discusses key global challenges like feeding the world, climate change, and globalization that ILRI should address. Specifically over the next 5-10 years, ILRI should focus on improving smallholder livelihoods and market access, developing climate-smart livestock systems, and applying a One Health approach to advance animal, human and environmental health. ILRI also needs to strengthen its research programs within the CGIAR, leverage partnerships, and secure stable long-term funding to deliver solutions at scale.

Presentation from Jean-François Soussana, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on integrated crop-livestock agroecological systems. The presentation was prepared and delivered in occasion of the International Symposium on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition, held at FAO in Rome on 18-19 September 2014.
The document examines the effect of crop diversification on food and nutrition security among smallholder farming households in Nigeria. It analyzes data from the 2015 Nigerian General Household Survey on 2,041 households. It finds that crop diversification has a positive impact on dietary diversity, increasing it by 10.9%, but negatively impacts subjective food security. However, households with greater crop diversification had a 53.8% higher likelihood of being food secure. The study thus concludes that while crop diversification improves nutrition, broader support is still needed for farming households to ensure food security.
This document presents a model for sustainable animal production at the village level in India. It proposes providing smallholder farmers access to new technologies like biogas production, vermicomposting, and hydroponic fodder cultivation. Hydroponic fodder production is highlighted as it can grow 8 times the biomass in just 7 days using minimal land and water. The model aims to help small farmers become financially viable by giving them access to credit to obtain these technologies and access to markets to sell their products.
Integrated Farming System-A Holistic Approach for Food and Livelihood Securitynaveen kumar
The document discusses integrated farming systems (IFS) as a holistic approach for food and livelihood security. Key points:
- IFS aim to maximize productivity and income through complementary enterprises like crops, livestock, fisheries.
- Research shows IFS can increase incomes 2-3 times over traditional systems through higher yields and employment.
- Models for marginal rainfed farms combining crops, 2 bullocks, 1 cow, 10 goats and poultry achieved highest returns.
- IFS appropriate for different agro-ecosystems like rainfed, irrigated, hilly regions through suitable enterprise combinations.
The document outlines the objectives of integrated farming systems as identifying existing systems and formulating models that optimize resource use, recycle farm residues, and improve overall farm profitability. It discusses factors that affect integrated farming systems like soil, climate, resources, and managerial skills. The document also covers the components of integrated farming systems, how enterprises can be integrated, and models of integrated farming. It concludes that integrated farming systems can increase food production, income, and farmer nutrition without harming the environment.

Inter relationship of crop and animal production systemsSavepa77
The document discusses the inter-relationship between crop and animal production systems in India. It notes that crop production of cotton, rice, wheat and sugarcane and livestock rearing of cattle, buffalo and goats are central to India's agricultural economy. Integrated farming systems combine these activities to achieve sustainability. Some examples given are crop-livestock, crop-livestock-fishery, and crop-livestock-poultry-fishery systems. The prospects of integrated crop-livestock systems include sustainable production, full family employment, recycling of wastes and improved standards of living.
The document provides information on the current status of the poultry industry globally and in India. Some key points:
- Globally, poultry meat production is projected to grow 2.3% annually until 2023 to 134.5 million tonnes, making it the largest meat sector.
- In India, the poultry industry contributes Rs. 11 lakh crore annually and is the 3rd largest egg producer and 5th largest broiler meat producer worldwide.
- Telangana is a major poultry producer in India, with an annual broiler production of 20 crore and egg production of 3.2 crore. The industry provides employment and economic opportunities.
This document summarizes a seminar on production problems in dairy animals. It discusses statistics on livestock populations and milk production in India. It notes that feed and fodder availability is a major issue, with demand exceeding supply. Common production problems discussed include low milk yields, calf mortality, ketosis around calving, milk fever, udder edema, grass tetany, and displaced abomasum. Prevention strategies are outlined such as balanced rations, calcium supplementation, and avoiding sudden diet changes around calving. The conclusion emphasizes addressing India's core issue of limited fodder availability to help solve many dairy production problems.
