Workshop for the Focus Area “Reduced discharge”
24- 27 April, Seoul, South Korea
The Agenda of Action is built on the notion thatdemand growth for livestock products will likelycontinue for decades to come as incomes and humanpopulations continue to grow. Such demand growthwill need to be accommodated within the context of afinite and sometimes dwindling natural resource base,and will be faced with the need to respond to climatechange, both adapting and mitigating. Growth alsorepresents an opportunity for social and economicdevelopment that many developing and middle incomecountries would not want to miss. Livestock alsoprovide numerous opportunities for enhanced foodsecurity and livelihood support that need to be takenadvantage of.
Comprehensive and urgent action is required to enablethe livestock sector to meet a variety of economic,social, environmental and health objectives and embarkto develop a Global Agenda of Action in supportof sustainable livestock sector development.
