Abstract of the presentation:

The presentation will review trends in consumption, production and trade of major livestock commodities and feed in Sub-Saharan Africa and present an overview of key issues facing the sector. A scenario for the livestock sector in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2030, developed using the IMPACT model, will be presented, showing significant growth of production across all major livestock commodities, with poultry and pork growing faster than ruminant meat production. The presentation will also discuss a series of technical and institutional innovations that could help address the challenges of sustainably intensifying livestock production in Sub-Saharan Africa.
