Descripción
This assessment was undertaken as part of the project “Low carbon and resilient livestock development strategies for climate informed investments” (https://www.fao.org/climate-change/programmes-and-projects/detail/en/c/1401898/ ) jointly implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The project aims to support IFAD-funded projects in Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Rwanda and Tajikistan to develop and implement strategies that will improve livestock production while reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving the resilience of farmers as part of the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Program (ASAP2). This report presents the impact of the Regeneration of Landscapes and Livelihoods (ROLL) project on greenhouse gas emissions and food security associated with sheep produced mainly for wool, goats produced mainly for mohair, dairy goats, meat goats, layer chicken and hatcheries covered in the ROLL project. It also provides recommendations for livestock investments to improve production efficiency while reducing absolute emissions and/or emissions intensity.
