Sustainable Livestock Management  in Food Security

Animal husbandry plays a key role in the food security, providing products rich in high-quality proteins and micronutrients and is vital for millions of households that depend on livestock for their livelihoods to generate income and have access to basic services. The book illustrates how livestock continually contribute essentially to both survival and nutritional health. Although land, water, labor etc. are, no doubt, extremely important for food production and play pivotal role in food security of the people but livestock cannot be ignored in this regard. The book also presents the past and projected situation of the sector, its potentials and challenges, with a special focus on the particular characteristics of different livestock systems.
