Overview of LEAP products

Abstract

The LEAP Partnership has established ten Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) in the following areas: animal feeds, poultry, small ruminants, large ruminants, pigs, biodiversity, nutrient cycling, water, and soil carbon sequestration, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Over 300 experts have been involved in creation of guidance documents in these areas critical to the sustainability of global food and agricultural production systems. These experts have been drawn from academia, government, indust ry and nongovernmental organizations to ensure a broad based consensus approach. To date, LEAP has produced a suite of background and guidance documents on methodological approaches for the transition to sustainable food and agriculture, review of indicators and methods for biodiversity assessment at global scale, and guidelines for Animal Feeds, Small Ruminants, Large Ruminants, and Poultry.
