Livestock and rangelands managementThis Knowledgebase is a product of IFAD Thematic Group on Livestock, Farming Systems and Rangelands. It is based on Thematic Papers and case studies of a range of IFAD projects that support livestock production among pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and smallholders.

It also aims to learn from and give a voice to the livestock community regarding a wide range of issues affecting the poor livestock keepers today, contributing thus to livestock development as an instrument for poverty reduction.
