Livestock and Climate Change: Outlook for a more sustainable and equitable future by Thornton, Philip K., Wollenberg, Eva K., Cramer, Laura K.

“…Trends in livestock demand and supply under climate change are likely to become more uncertain and equity and productivity gaps are likely to intensify in the coming decades. Although industrialised systems can better invest in the feed and adaptations and mitigation measures needed under climate change than smallholders’ systems, livestock are critical for smallholders’ livelihoods and food security, and we need to anticipate the wider range of interventions that may be needed to increase resilience in such systems. 4. …”

Root causes of blockages in pig market systems in Central Uganda: Application of causal loop diagrams by Ouma, Emily A., Ahumuza, Ronnie, Oba, Peter, Rao, Elizaphan James Oburu

“…Untransparent pig pricing mechanisms due to lack of standards for pork and its products, coupled with poor value chain coordination disincentivizes producers, especially women, who often lack negotiating power for pig prices. A decade’s worth of research (2012–25) is helping pig producers address some of the issues, but smallholder producers still face challenges of low pig productivity, along with disease and climate risks. …”

Cattle breed improvement for sustainable draft power use in Ethiopian agriculture by Tegegne, Azage

“…The non-use of oxen for transport and other task during the long non-cultivation period is one of the reasons for the low utilization of oxen in Ethiopia. In the last three decades to 1991, food production per head fell steadily, mainly as a result of civil war, soil exhaustion, erosion and over-population in the marginal highland agrarian areas. …”
