Livestock in the livelihoods of the underprivileged communities in India: A review por Rangnekar, D.V.

“…The recommended approach will require a change in paradigm from the conventional reductionist, animal-level research to peoplecentred, participatory and holistic methods in iterative research-for-development programmes that are inter-disciplinary, multi-institutional and, ideally, multi-locational to facilitate cross-site lesson learning. Given the increasing demand for livestock products, this is an opportune time for animal scientists to make an impact on the livelihoods of the underprivileged by adopting this change in the research paradigm.…”
