Structurally, the volume is divided into five sections. Plenary addresses from the inaugural session are presented in first section. The next three sections present the discussions and papers from technical sessions on each of the respective themes. Each of these section opens with an Editor’s Report which attempts to present a synthesis of discussions in the plen ary and technical sessions. The reports in each section are then followed by the papers presented on that theme. A brief chapter titled ‘The Way Forward’ then articulates some elements of an action plan towards operationalizing the workshop recommendations. A number of participants also contributed various kinds of relevant analysis in the form of poster papers. These are made available as Annexures to the main report. -

Moreover, for hundreds of millions of small, poor farmers, animal draught power and nutrient recycling through manure compensates for unattainable ac cess to tractors and fertilizer. Livestock are often also the only capital reserve of farming households, to be sold when times are hard. Livestock, in one way or another, are critical to sustaining poor farmers.
