As an organisation with 80 years of experience working on the ground in developing countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, we urge for a strong focus on the needs and priorities of smallholder farmers who produce nearly 70% of the food consumed in the world. In particular, we believe special attention should be paid to the resource systems they depend upon. We believe that understanding of these systems can be improved through multi-stakeholder engagement and the development of a more comprehensive body of knowledge. While the links between livestock and nutrition are complex and differ across the varied food systems, in a smallholder context, livestock keeping is a fundamental element of food security and nutrition. Livestock’s important role goes beyond food production, and also includes, for example, the draught power used to produce, distribute and access food. In the smallholder context, the production of animal-sourced foods and other agricultural products is often facilitated by the use of draught animals. Therefore, nutrition interventions should take this issue into account within the broader and complex nutrition picture.
