    Is sustainable livestock production possible, and if so, what does it look like? Livestock sector is at the center of climate and environmental issues, and plays a major role in poverty reduction and food security and nutrition. In 2011 FAO began hosting a participatory multi-stakeholder initiative to address these issues, which currently brings together 105 member organizations from Academia, Donors, International Organizations, NGOs, Public Sector, Private Sector and Social Movements, as well as producer organizations. The Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock aims at being a unique forum to share good practices and build consensus towards shaping sustainable livestock production and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2018 the evaluation of this project found significant value and progress towards these objectives, in the form of increased interaction and participation and indications of new practices and policies being implemented by members. Continuing such dialogue is crucial to achieve sustainability, and should go along with collecting evidence and good practices from members. Sustainability is an urgent and critical issue and should be treated with the highest importance.

    In decades to come, the demand for livestock products is expected to grow significantly driven by rising affluence, urbanization and an increasing global population estimated to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. Consumption of food from livestock is projected to increase by 70 percent during the period. Livestock sector policies and investments need to simultaneously address the vast diversity of livestock systems and the different demands and expectations placed by society on the sector.
