Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

 

Objectives: Regarding the objectives, I think the second objective may not be easily fulfilled as the typical constraints are not the same globally because the issues are highly variable regionally. The primary conditions for people of different South Asian countries may be identical but may be totally different from those of Central and East Asia. For example, in the South Asian region, small-scale livestock maintenance is carried out mainly by the poor sector of the community who may not have sufficient land to maintain animals, whereas in Central Asia where small-scale livestock maintenance is primarily based on common pastures where the central issue is lack of fodder. Therefore, it would be better to gather such typical constraints region-wise.
