Livestock (large and small ruminants, poultry, pigs) remain the livelihood backbone and main source of insurance for risky smallholder agriculture55. Over 200 million cattle are kept in GLDC target agroecologies56 which are, and will remain, the main producers of ruminant products. The current and future accelerating demand growth for red meat in SSA is evident now, although with warnings that the capacity of these value chains for ruminant livestock to respond is likely constrained by feed and forage resources57. While farmers will not forsake their staple food production of millets, sorghum and legumes, the croplands of SSA and SA must produce the stover residues and feed for market-oriented livestock enterprises. GLDC’s crop breeding for mixed crop-livestock farming systems in the target agroecologies must develop varieties and hybrids with dual-purpose use as food, feed and fodder.
