disappoint. For example, the highest incidence of undernourishment in the world occurs in SSA
where one out of every three people suffers from chronic hunger (WDR, 2007). Per capita food
consumption in SSA is on the decline (Shapouri et al., 1999). Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in
the world where the number of rural poor is on the rise (WDR, 2007).
The majority (86%) of SSA’s combined population of 200 million relies on the agriculture sector.
Therefore, it is no surprise that we look to this sector to provide solutions to the issues of chronic
poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition. Improvements here have the possibility of impacting
millions. This brief looks at the contribution that livestock, small stock in particular, can make
towards achieving food and nutritional security and improving social wellbeing in southern Africa.","2013","published",,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics","Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India",,"4",,,,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics","RP – Markets, Institutions and Policies",,,,,,,,,,"",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Improving+food+security%2C+nutrition+and+incomes%3A+the+contribution+of+small+stock%22&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
