bibo:abstract "This report analyzes the structure and trends in the crop-livestock economies of developing countries falling\r\nwi thin the semi-arid tropics of the wor ld. Population growth, urbanization and increasing per capita incomes\r\nare fuelling rapid growth in the demand for animal-based foods in developing countries including those located\r\nin the semi-arid tropics. The rising demand for animal-based foods is likely to have several implications for\r\nlivestock production systems (structure, production, productivity, intensification etc), the environment, markets,\r\ninstitutions and trade, and ultimately for livestock producers. We are thus witnessing a dualistic mode of\r\ndevelopment: a fast growing commercial sector that is coming up close to demand centers even as the traditional\r\nsemi-subsistence sector continues to be the lifeline of many small and poor livestock keepers. In the commercial\r\nsector, the non-food functions of livestock (draught, transport, asset etc) are on the decline. The rising demand\r\nfor animal-based food is also fuelling the derived demand for livestock feed, particularly crop residues in South\r\nAsia and SSA, and agro-industrial by-products in all regions of the SAT.\r\nThe livestock sector is also under pressure to adjust to forces of market liberalization and globalization. Wi th\r\ndistortions in the wor ld trading environment for livestock products and stiff SPS standards, the competitiveness\r\nof domestic dairy and meat production in SAT countries is under threat. The best option to remain competitive\r\nis through the adoption of improved technologies, investments in infrastructure to meet quality standards,\r\ndomestic reforms, public-private sector partnerships particularly in the delivery of health services, innovative\r\ninstitutions and policies that link small-scale producers wi th markets/processors.\r\nPoverty is high in all SAT countries of SSA and South Asia. For a majority of the rural poor, livestock rearing is\r\nan important means of survival. The productivity of livestock is low owing to numerous constraints. Alleviating\r\nthese constraints would help improve performance of livestock in SAT countries, which in turn would benefit\r\nmillions of poor."^^xsd:string;
