The video describes the contribution of economics to the development of the different family poultry production systems, including scavenge based, free range, semi-intense and intensive systems. The specific characteristics and differences between these four systems are explained and how they are influenced by the critical resources and the input and output markets. The content of the video was prepared by Prof. Dr. Jonathan Rushton for Associate Poultry Advisers as part of a training programme that was organized by FAO in cooperation with IFAD. © FAO: http://www.fao.org
