The document discusses the key roles of livestock in global agriculture and food systems, and makes recommendations to support sustainable agricultural development. It finds that livestock accounts for 1/3 of global agricultural production value and is a major user of land and water resources. By 2050, meat and milk production are projected to significantly increase to meet rising global demand. The document recommends context-specific strategies to integrate livestock sustainably, strengthen policy coherence, promote gender equality, improve disease surveillance, support smallholder mixed farms and pastoralism, and address challenges in intensive systems. The overall goal is to ensure food security and nutrition through more resource efficient, resilient and socially equitable livestock practices.
The document outlines ILRI's research programs within several CGIAR Research Programs led by various organizations. ILRI conducts research on livestock and fish systems productivity, dryland systems, policies and markets related to livestock, agriculture diseases prevention, livestock and water interactions, climate change adaptation in livestock systems, and sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems.

This document discusses balancing trade-offs in the livestock sector between food production, efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. It notes that livestock occupy a large amount of global land and water resources and account for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. However, livestock also provide important economic and nutritional benefits globally. Going forward, more sustainable and equitable livestock systems will be needed to meet increasing demand for livestock products while minimizing environmental impacts. Intensification of production could allow for higher output with fewer animals and less land expansion, but trade-offs would need to be carefully considered.
This document discusses the complex relationships between livestock, people, livelihoods, and diseases. It provides background on GALVmed, an organization that supports animal health solutions for poor livestock keepers. Livestock are crucial for the livelihoods of 1 billion people in Africa and Asia. However, animal diseases pose a major threat. The document outlines key health issues from intensive production systems for dairy cows and poultry. It also discusses the role of zoonotic diseases in impacting poor communities and the increasing issues of lifestyle diseases from diets high in animal products. The conclusion calls for a One Health approach through multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve optimal health for people, animals and the environment.
