The role that traditional livestock keepers play in maintaining genetic diversity. Focuses on a key threat to the survival of pastoralists and their livestock breeds: the loss of access to grazing and water.
Confused about patents and how they relate to the livestock breeds? What’s the difference between a patent and a trademark? A geographical indication and a sui generis system? What are Livestock Keepers’ Rights? This two-page leaflet explains it all in simple language.
Critical analysis of the options for increasing livestock production would be successful and equitable, and examines the alternative approach, endogenous livestock development, building on local resources, including knowledge, institutions, fodder, and animal genetic resources.
