…and the nutrition dimension
Livestock interventions and nutrition
Can livestock interventions (i.e. increasing productivity, animal transfer…) impact on nutrition outcomes in first 1,000 days?
Does an evidence base exist to promote livestock interventions to improve nutrition outcomes?

WITH A DIFFERENCE
• A role for livestock extension services?
• What’s their current focus?
• Is there potential to act as vehicles for maximizing the
angel side of livestock?
• How do we prepare them?
• What re-design is needed?
