Excerpt
Introduction: At its 15th Session, the Intergovernmental Group on Meat called on the Secretariat to provide, as soon as available, the results of a multi-donor1 study on ?Livestock Production Systems and the environment - Global Perspectives and Prospects?, coordinated by the FAO Animal and Health Division. The study, which is in its final stage, assesses the major positive and negative interactions between livestock production systems and their natural resource base and develops an analytical framework for appraising the impact of livestock programs and policies on the environment. This paper summarizes some of the major findings of the study and highlights their major policy implications. It is the second study on livestock-environment interactions which is presented to the Group1.
