Description
| This dialogue seeks to engage and harness the diversity of both livestock sector stakeholders (taking advantage of the global spread and multi-stakeholder nature of the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, GASL) and those who are not directly engaged with livestock – from development agencies and practitioners to food sector actors and beyond. It will draw participants from all over the world, from pastoralists and farmers of all capacities who produce food to those who process, market and research food and wider food system dimensions. The dialogue will facilitate new conversations to identify the pathways of change and diverse solutions that are needed to ensure that livestock contributes across all action tracks and levers of change to future food systems. |
Short, plenary interventions touching on future visions for livestock roles in relation to food, environment and broad sustainability dimensions will inspire discussion groups who will explore inclusive and complementary actions towards each of the five action tracks.
