    The Kenyan cattle and poultry sectors widely affect society. They contribute to livelihoods, provide food and nutrition, are a major consumer of natural resources, and cause public health threats through zoonoses. The cattle and poultry sectors are anticipated to undergo rapid growth and transformation in the coming decades, because of the anticipated population and economic growth, which will provide major incentives for increased production and productivity in the livestock sector. The longer-term future of Kenyan livestock, and of the cattle and poultry sectors in particular, is still in the making and can be shaped by informed decisions taken today. To understand what different trajectories of the transformation of the cattle and poultry sectors might imply, we must review the current impact of different systems today. This brief is a summary on the current impacts of cattle and poultry systems on the livelihoods, environment and public health.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture – Systems at breaking point (SOLAW 2021)

    Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs.The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience.
