WHY?not drought but vulnerability during drought
in the semi arid lands >>> repeated food crises.
in contrast semi arid lands produce most of the livestock traded in the region

Reality - consciousness
one billion people suffer from hunger today in the world.
two third are living in rural areas and depend non livestock for their survival

Food SovereigntyFood Sovereignty is the right of every community and every population to define its own agricultural policies,
regarding the choice of the species to be cultivated and bred,
the production process,
the quality and safety of foods,
the energetic implications,
the markets,
the access to resources,
the social and environmental impact of production,
the information for the consumers

Why vets ?Vets think across a wide range of species
Vets synthesize information
•from many sources (economics, zoology, ecology, medicine) •from many spatial scales (microbial mechanisms, animal behaviour, agri-food systems structures)
Vets can talk as easily: •with a farmer•with a government official
Vets can shift topics from a single clinical case to the implications of international level

Issues raised in 2009by VSF
…to be discussed
![Page 31: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
??????
•Underdevelopment is the consequence of the over (wrong, unsustainable) development of others
•Vet without borders: development is not possible until borders remain.
•Commodities move “freely”, people do not.
•Why is development aid not working the way we want?
•Is there coherence in development projects?
![Page 32: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
VSF Priorities raised in 2009
….to be DONE !!!
![Page 33: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
•Supporting small farmers or livestock keepers associations for better access to local markets
•Locally focusing long term follow-up of development aid actions
•Sensitize consumers – targeting them, planning middle to long term impact assessment on food market – on food sovereignty
•Better coordination among policy makers dealing with food trade, food security, food safety, development aid
Priorities
![Page 34: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
•Stress the comparative advantage: report field experience, facts, working solutions for small scale farmers
•Actions should highlight integration and participation of local communities in decision making and crosscutting multi-disciplinary issues (animal health, natural resources mgmt, raising awareness, …, …)
•Provide family farmers with tools, land, credit, technical support, training
•The keyword is awareness: in the North and in the South!
Priorities
![Page 35: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
•From top-down to bottom-up, beneficiaries should participate in the decision of their own development policies
•Targeting consumers; strengthen the demand for local products in the development countries
•More transparency and improving accountability worldwide
Priorities - solutions
![Page 36: Alessandro Broglia: VSF perspectives in livestock issues for the next decades](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5479db25b4af9fce158b48f5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
•Subsidized economies, unprotected markets, deregulated trade make development impossible
•Food safety should be taken into consideration when intervention of food security or food sovereignty are planned
•Common good practices and commitments for all VSF
Priorities - solutions
