Call for Case Studies: Low Input Livestock Landscapes

The FAO has launched a Call for Case Studies. The goal is to find practical existing examples from the field and producer organization of low-input and sustainable livestock systems.  We are specifically looking for livestock operations that demonstrate one or more of the following features: i) improved environmental sustainability including biodiversity conservation; ii) better animal health & welfare; and/or iii) furthering food-not feed strategies. Ideally the case studies will demonstrate that these features help to secure income and/or economic resilience for farmers/farmer organizations/industry

Case Studies will be collected and featured on the FAO Sustainability Pathways website and the best examples will be included in the printed version of the publication (due out at the end of the year). The Case Studies will be authored.

Guidelines and directions for writing the Case Studies are attached.

All Case Studies can be sent to [log in to unmask] . The deadline for receiving the Case Studies is 31 May 2014.

Many thanks in advance for your participation!
