En este artículo, se describe la función de los animales de abasto en los sistemas alimentarios circulares de los trópicos en cuatro estudios de caso.

Esta es la primera publicación que se centra exclusivamente en la producción y comercialización de lana de yak, aunque tiene un alcance más amplio que aúna el informe técnico y la narrativa socioambiental acerca de la región del Alto Asia y sus comunidades indígenas.

More than half of all rural Cambodian households keep poultry. Local bird breeds are the highest in demand in the local market, especially during festivals and celebrations.

Este es un estudio de caso sobre el innovador modelo avícola, implementado por Green Innovet Cam con el FIDA, en Camboya.

This report presents selected achievements and lessons learned from the growing portfolio of small livestock investments supported by IFAD. 

The Adaptation Framework is a repository of adaptation actions for small-scale agriculture, including livestock, forestry, and fisheries. It provides an approach for incorporating adaptation practices into project design.

This HTDN complements the IFAD Toolkit along with the 2018 HTDN on Pastoralism, which highlights the importance of gender in pastoral production systems.

Con la presente guía se capacita a los equipos de diseño de proyectos en las habilidades y herramientas básicas que les permitirán: i) determinar el tipo de datos que se necesita obtener; ii) seleccionar los métodos y la combinación acertada de herramientas para recolectar los datos, y iii) organizar y presentar los resultados para que puedan incorporarse al diseño de los proyectos. 

The IFAD-funded SWAZI BEEF project set out to increase the quality of livestock and meat products and to diversify farmers’ incomes in the sugar-cane-producing areas of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) through targeted support to farmers and other value chain actors (livestock producers, butchers/meat processors, financial institutions and input providers). 

Pastoralism is a way of life based on territorial mobility, adopted in response to the challenges faced by human communities living in harsh or difficult environments.

This How To Do Note first outlines the problems developers need to be aware of in pastoral development.

These lessons learned have been developed for planners and policymakers: (a) to help them avoid investment strategies and policies that impact negatively on pastoralists; and (b) to enable them to ensure that specific policies and plans for pastoral development are more closely tailored to the needs of pastoralists.

Investments in smallholder goat development and related value chains are effective means to reduce poverty and increase the incomes of men and women from resource-poor households. They are also effective channels to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in remote mountainous
areas.

This note describes the land tenure issues faced by pastoralists and how IFAD has dealt with some of these through its programmes and projects.

This joint evaluation synthesis report (JES) has been prepared by FAO and IFAD Evaluation Offices (OED  and IOE) within the framework of ‘Statement Intent’ of 2 April 2013 for strengthening collaboration across the two  Rome-based agencies.

Livestock contribute to the livelihoods of roughly 70 per cent of the world’s poor, supporting farmers, consumers, traders and laborers throughout the developing world. The increasing demand for livestock products for the growing populations of developing countries, particularly in Africa, offers new market opportunities for poor farmers in rural areas.

Success in raising small-farmer productivity leads to improvements in household food security, nutrition and income, leading to poverty reduction. However, in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa, increased and sustained animal production by small farmers is greatly hampered by livestock diseases. Animal diseases severely constrain livestock enterprises of smallholder livestock keepers in sub-Saharan Africa but are not given the attention they deserve by the global community

In August 2015, a grant agreement was signed between IFAD and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to “demonstrate that the goat subsector in India has a great potential to contribute to poverty alleviation and offers opportunities where donors can partner with private sector, public sector, and producers to effect large-scale productivity improvement in small ruminant value chains in Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh states”.

El acceso a servicios modernos de energías renovables es un factor clave para erradicar la pobreza y garantizar la seguridad alimentaria. 

The World Initiative for Sustainable Pastoralism (WISP) is a global knowledge and advocacy network that promotes understanding of sustainable pastoral development for both poverty reduction and sustainable environmental management. WISP was executed by the International Union for Nature Conservation (IUCN).

The Programme built the capacity of pastoral institutions to engage in advocacy based on state-of-the-art global learning on sustainable pastoralism, enabling pastoralist institutions around the world to network and shared experiences and opportunities, and ensured that the voice of pastoralists remained central to policy discourse and learning.

La producción ganadera en pequeña escala se basa principalmente en explotaciones familiares y es crucial para los medios de vida de las personas pobres de las zonas rurales, la seguridad alimentaria y la creación de empleo. Los animales proporcionan alimentos para el consumo familiar, productos para la generación de ingresos y dinero en efectivo que puede obtenerse rápidamente cuando se producen situaciones de emergencia y crisis externas (que pueden deberse a condiciones climáticas, casos de enfermedad, inestabilidad de los precios, etc.). Los animales son activos importantes que satisfacen diversas necesidades de los pequeños productores (proporcionan estiércol, fuerza de tiro y de carga, etc.) y tienen asimismo un valor cultural y espiritual. Las aves de corral y los pequeños rumiantes suelen estar a cargo de las mujeres y les proporcionan beneficios directos.

This note highlights lessons learned on pastoralism land rights and tenure aiming to inform the design and implementation of country strategies and projects from the point of view of land tenure issues faced by pastoralists.

It also provides examples of how IFAD has dealt with some of these issues through its programmes and projects.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) are funding a number of projects developed to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) related to improving food security, income generation and women’s empowerment, while respecting traditional knowledge and socio-cultural values. 

Family poultry production plays an essential role in some of these projects.

An IFAD Supervision Mission visited the project from 20th June to 5th July 2013. The main 1.objectives of the supervision mission are to ensure that the development objectives of the projects are being met and to satisfy IFAD‟s fiduciary responsibilities, with a focus on: (i) assessment of the implementation progress of the project, including assessment of the achievement of outputs by component and outcome as per the logframe of the project; (ii) assistance to identify and remove implementation bottlenecks and constraints; and (iii) agree on a set of actions to be implemented by the project in the next six to twelve months period.
