Book (series)Developing sustainable value chains for small-scale livestock producers
FAO Animal Production and Health Guidelines No. 21
2019Also available in:
This publication constitutes a practical development tool, which implements the sustainable food value chain framework with a focus on small-scale livestock producers, targeting an audience of project design teams and policymakers. Small-scale livestock producers are important actors in food production, human health and management of landscapes and animal genetic resources. However, they face a number of challenges, which hamper their productivity, access to market, and competitiveness vis-à-vis their larger counterparts. By integrating the concepts of value addition and the three dimensions of sustainability, the sustainable food value chain framework not only addresses questions concerning the competitiveness, inclusion and empowerment of small-scale producers, but also incorporates the cross-cutting issues that are increasingly embedded in development projects. These guidelines take the user through the different steps of value chain development, highlighting the particularities of the smallholder livestock sector, such as multi-functionality, specific production cycles or food safety issues, through concrete examples. -
Book (stand-alone)The Regional Initiative on small-scale family farming and the SDGs 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The publication presents the linkages between the regional Initiative on Small-Scale family Farming in the NENA region with the 20130 Agenda and its contributions to the SDGs. The Regional Initiative in this sense is aligned with FAO's broad priorities in the 2030 Agenda: End poverty and malnutrition; enable sustainable development in agriculture, fisheries and forestry; combat and adapt to Climate Change. Indeed, while connected with many SDGs, the RI stems directly from SDG 1 (End poverty in all its form everywhere) and SDG 2 (End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutririon and promote sustainable agriculture). Nevertheless,it also contributes to SDG 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all) and SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns). -
