Synopsis (short abstract) Asia is the world’s largest producer of pork, comprising 56 percent of global pork production. Pig farming is the most important livestock related livelihood activity in the region contributing to about 20–30 percent of household income. With the largest share of market in terms of livestock production and relatively high emission intensities for beef and pork, Southeast Asia is also the second highest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. The ASEAN Strategic Plan of Action for Cooperation on Livestock (2016–2020) provides key signals and strategic direction for ‘sustainable livestock production and trade to contribute to growth, poverty alleviation, food security, and improved nutrition’. The ASEAN Negotiators Group on Agriculture (ANGA) developed a common position related to “improved livestock management systems, including agro pastoral production systems and others" (UNFCCC, 2020) and submitted to the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA). The main purpose of this knowledge brief is to highlight the several key priority actions for the livestock sector and emphasized the need for scaling up financial support, technology transfer and capacity building needs for the livestock sector in order to advance work under the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA).
