- The tendency when thinking about livestock and climate change is to automatically think of cattle But not all livestock are cows We need to expand our discussions beyond just one type of animal
- The tendency when thinking about livestock and climate change is to automatically think of cattle But not all livestock are cows We need to expand our discussions beyond just one type of animal
- There are many domesticated species that are important to human nutrition, livelihoods and culture People keep different animals for different reasons and based on their contexts It’s not just about meat, milk and eggs Men, women, boys and girls have different responsibilities and derive different benefits from different types of animals It’s important to recognize types of animals beyond cattle so that we are inclusive
- It is not possible to do away with livestock keeping Livestock can help people adapt to climate change Adaptation options in livestock production have mitigation co-benefits
- There are places where people need to reduce consumption of ASF: Meat consumption in the US is over 400kg per person per year while in West Africa it is about 35 kg and 20 kg in Central Africa
- Population growth, urbanization and rising living standards will drive increased consumption. One estimate suggests that demand for meat in Africa will triple by 2050
