Priority areas for investment in more sustainable and climate-resilient livestock systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131069
Abstract
Livestock production supports economic growth, jobs and nutrition, but contributes to and is vulnerable to climate change. A transition is thus needed for livestock systems to become more sustainable and climate resilient, with clear positive effects on the Sustainable Development Goals. It is unclear, however, where the global community should invest to support this change. We identified priority…
