CGIAR Research Program on Livestock

The Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL), hosted by FAO, is facilitating a global discussion among GASL stakeholders and the wider development community to assess the diversity of opportunities and challenges derived from the COVID-19 pandemic across different regions of the world.

Strategies will be identified on how the livestock sector can respond towards more sustainable food systems, an enhanced One Health approach and stronger food security outcomes.

Inputs from the sessions will contribute to the June 2021 GASL Multi-stakeholder Partnership Meeting in Delémont, Switzerland, and the 2021 Food Systems Summit.
