Synopsis (short abstract) This study outlines a conceptual framework for examining the effect of the driving forces that are underpinning the evolution of livestock production systems on the livelihoods of the poor who rear livestock, and their relationship with the environment. The report highlights information gaps, and provides guidance on where and how additional information might be collected to clarify and elaborate upon emerging issues.

    This report is intended to contribute to solving one of today's most crucial agricultural dilemmas: how to find a balance between a fast growing global demand for food and the need to sustain the natural resource base of land, water, air and biological diversity. It is a direct response to the concern for food security, as expressed at the World Food Summit, and to the concern expressed for the environment through several international conventions, such as the International Convention on Biologi cal Diversity, the Montreal Protocol on the emission of greenhouse gases and the Convention to Combat Desertification. It is also cast in the light of changes in the global trade environment, following the Uruguay Round Agreement, which may bring about significant changes in the patterns of trade in livestock and livestock products.
