Why livestock?
Opportunities:
 Meet demand
 Support economic growth
 Address multiple development dimensions
 Mitigate harms
Challenges:
 Under investment
 Not recognized as essential for development
 Negative voices
 Complex and diverse

Increases not because of overconsumption!
OECD average 2018 = 69 kg/capita meat
SSA average 2018 = 10 kg/capita meat

Livestock and development
Provides food and nutritional security
BUT overconsumption is often associated with
obesity and non-communicable diseases
Powers economic development
BUT equitable development can be a challenge
Improves human health
BUT animal-human/emerging diseases
and unsafe foods need to be addressed
Enhances the environment
BUT pollution, land/water degradation,
GHG emissions and biodiversity losses
must be greatly reduced

Sustainable and inclusive transformation of animal food systems:
what must be done?
Harness and sharpen CGIAR research
• Biosciences (animal health, genetics, and nutrition)
• Policy, institutions and livelihoods analyses
• Sustainable livestock systems
• Food safety and zoonoses
• Gender
• Livestock for food and nutrition security
• Livestock communications and advocacy
Ensure research is translated into development impacts
• Start with the end in mind
• Tailor to national and regional priorities
• Intentional partnerships for delivery
• Influence investment priorities
• Support capacity development
Account for diversity and complexity
• Bundle solutions
• Target specific commodities in specific locations

Impact on SDGs
Improve health through 50%
reduction in global burden of
foodborne diseases
Improve nutrition by doubling
affordable access to quality
animal-source foods
Women’s economic
empowerment through
increase in control over
livestock assets
Increase in value of livestock
resources in LMICs
Increase mitigation of the
impact of livestock on the
environment and resilience
to climate change
Increase in per-capita
availability of ASF.

Next steps
• Consult with donors, one on one and as a collective
• Work with foundation
• Develop the details behind each element of the framework
• Refine organizational imperatives (what ILRI will change in order to
deliver)
• Align with wider CGIAR processes (business plan, reference
groups)
