This document introduces a toolkit for conducting participatory value chain assessments that consider both food safety and livelihood issues. The toolkit uses a risk-based approach to identify major risks in livestock value chains from production to consumption. It involves participatory activities and discussions to map out production cycles, herd health issues, food selection practices, and risk awareness among farmers and consumers. The goal is to generate information to identify and quantify risks, then test interventions that can improve food safety while protecting livelihoods.
