The "Livestock to 2020: The Next Food Revolution" is a report by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). It explores the future of livestock production and its implications for food security, nutrition, the environment, and public health. The report highlights the growing demand for animal-based foods in developing countries, driven by rising incomes, urbanization, and changing dietary patterns. It also discusses the environmental and public health challenges associated with increased livestock production, such as land use, pollution, and the spread of zoonotic diseases. The report emphasizes the need for policies that support sustainable livestock production, improve the livelihoods of small-scale farmers, and ensure that the benefits of the livestock revolution reach the poor. It also discusses the role of technology in improving livestock productivity and the importance of research and development in this area. The report concludes that the livestock revolution is a major structural shift in global agriculture that will have significant implications for food security, environmental sustainability, and public health. It calls for coordinated action to ensure that the livestock revolution is managed in a way that benefits both the poor and the environment.The "Livestock to 2020: The Next Food Revolution" is a report by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI).
