Descripción: | The report delves into the key drivers impacting livestock systems and their implications for sustainability and resilience. The webinars, hosted by GASL and CATIE, aimed to address the challenges in the livestock sector, focusing on long-term viability, sustainability, and resilience. Three fundamental driver categories were identified: "Environment and Technology Innovations," "Health and Diseases," and "Geopolitical and Socioeconomic Conditions." These drivers have diverse impacts on livestock systems, agroecological contexts, and regional disparities. Climate change, urbanization, income growth, and geopolitical tensions have influenced the global supply and demand of livestock products, raising concerns about animal welfare and environmental sustainability due to intensified production methods. To tackle these challenges, the webinars proposed tailored strategies, including promoting sustainable intensification of animal production systems, embracing the One Health approach, and effective data sharing for informed decision-making. Recommendations also encompass increasing the number of veterinary laboratories using standardized diagnostic methods and fostering private-public partnerships to address animal health concerns. Additionally, strategies for pastoral and mixed systems were highlighted, such as deploying resilient forage germplasm, rehabilitating degraded pastures, and implementing improved grazing practices. The webinars provided a platform for comprehensive discussions, aiming to guide the sustainable transformation of the livestock sector in an ever-changing world. |
