Abstract

Climate change projections indicate that smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems are, and will remain, the main producers of ruminant products to 2050, under all scenarios. Advancements in breeding, nutrition and animal health will have significant influence on livestock sector transformation. The paper discusses the role of grazing systems, livestock production and the impact of climate change on livestock production systems across Africa. Cultural factors and community involvement, institutional capacity, governance, finance and technology aspects are key to transformation of the livestock sector.
