Presentation of ideas from Roundtable 1, where Joyce Cacho moderated to gain insights about complex topics of risk management, public science research, gender, livestock as agriculture assets, government policy, extension services, scaling up, diversity in nutrition QUESTIONS OF PLENARY PANEL DISCUSSION 1. How embedding environmental and social sustainability can catalyze securing sustainable and appropriate funding to build livestock value-chains that are transformational in empowering smallholder, and large scale enterprises, to grow at rates needed to achieve food and nutritional security for exponentially increasing national, sub-regional, and continental populations? 2. CLOSING/WRAP-UP: It is the year 2054, planet earth has 10 billion citizens…What does the livestock industry look like in Africa? In Asia? How does your description of the livestock industry in 2054 reflect the return on investment from focusing on scaling-up and embedding environmental and social sustainability, starting TODAY?

CLOSING
/
WRAP-­‐UP
• Industry
will
include
meat
and
milk
from
camels,
sheep,
goats.
• Pastoralists
enabling
environment
will
include
payments
for
environmental
management.
• The
zero-­‐waste
approach
to
agricultural
systems
will
be
the
normal/
standard,
such
that
by-­‐products
from
crop
processing
will
be
inputs
to
animal
feed,
for
example.
• Markets
of
Regional
Economic
CommuniTes
(RECs)
such
as
Intergovernmental
Authority
on
Development
(IGAD)
will
be
fully
operaTonal,
such
that
livestock
products
will
move
freely
to
meet
consumer
demand
and
investors
can
determine
their
return
on
investment
from
an
expanded,
manageable
risk
market.
