Resumen
Descripción
This study presents three basic arguments. The first is that historical (and often linear) narratives influence the current trajectory of Indian livestock policy. This creates a looping mechanism that cannot provide solutions to emerging and hitherto unknown problems of depleting productivity and growing inequality. The second is that new pro-poor frameworks (MDGs, XI Five Year Plan etc.) that focus on inclusive growth do not linearly translate into propoor outcomes because human and institution al systems are not equipped to deliver this mandate. The third is that new knowledge, practices, instruments and systems are required to kick start inclusive growth. Within this milieu, the study presents worldviews of policy agents, examples of pro-poor good practices and draws out new principles for praxis that could inform new paradigms of livestock policy objectives and instruments.
