Livestock and FishMore milk, meat, and �sh by and for the poor

Purpose To increase the productivity of livestock and �sh farming in selected developing countries to enhance the nutrition and increase the incomes of poor and hungry households.

Why farm animals? Livestock + �sh = big opportunities for the poor.

1. High demandIncreasing demand for animal-source foods in developing countries is a big opportunity for smallholders, who can raise their incomes by meeting that demand.

2. Highly nutritiousAnimal-source foods are critical for malnourished people, especially women and children.

3. Highest valueMeat, milk, and �sh are generally the highest value agricultural products globally.

Expected impacts over the next 10 yearsResearch is focused on value chains to generate big and measurable impacts with:

Dairy and pigs for better incomes (Viet Nam, Uganda, Tanzania, India, Nicaragua)High potential: We can double productivity and livestock incomes of 100,000 households in each country (50,000 in Central America).

Aquaculture for better nutrition (Uganda)High potential: We can increase the supply of �sh by 615,000 tonnes a year in Egypt, 11,000 tonnes a year in Uganda (doubling supplies there).

Goats and sheep for better livelihoods (Mali, Ethiopia)Medium potential: We can increase national meat production by 5,000 tonnes a year, dou-bling livestock incomes in 70,000 households in each country.
