Livestock and Environment – cluster 1 Assess the environmental sustainability and adaptability of livestock production technologies  6th June 2017, Nairobi, Kenya

Rationale Livestock Environment Cluster 1 is about ASSESSING this 2-way interaction Environmental sustainability of livestock development Adaptability/robustness/GEC sensitivities of livestock development  Link to technology flagships!! forage/grazing land based crop-livestock systems represent 70% of agricultural land use in the tropics as feed, green manure, soil improvement, erosion control, and biodiversity;

Overview Impact of GEC on livestock development (risks and opportunities) 4.1.1 (ILRI – Mark): HH-type specific GEC sensitivities 4.1.1 (CIAT – An): technology specific GEC sensitivities Impact of livestock on environment – how to assess? 4.1.2 (ILRI – Randall): water – review key livestock water interactions and issues 4.1.2 (CIAT – An): framework, tools and training Impact of livestock development on environment – quantification 4.1.3 (ILRI – Francesco): Digital data collection toolbox/platform 4.1.3 (CIAT- Birthe): assessments (E-Africa, LAC, Asia) 4.1.3 (ICARDA – Mounir): rangeland monitoring and assessment (tools and protocols) CIAT

Household-specific GEC sensitivities ILRI CIAT

Technology-specific GEC sensitivities Discussions (mail and follow-up face 2 face) with flagship leaders and VC coordinators Identification of case studies Climate change and livestock breeds (poultry, dairy, small ruminants) Migrate "targeting tools" to web: consultant to be hired Add relevant country-level data: through interns Work with Philip on training approach Conduct trainings (based on case studies) Forages and CC  Initial discussions incl. CCAFS – towards joint proposal Pigs and heat stress in Uganda (shared with 4.1.3) CIAT

Pigs and heat stress So far: Student from UoN recruited Monthly maps produced Scoping trip 19-20 June Next steps: Improve index Check current heat stress signs and adaptation options Map future heat stress Recommendations for further adaptation options

Technology-specific GEC sensitivities Progress reporting Suitability and feasibility maps for selected technological interventions made accessible (current and under GEC scenarios) - Gender norm included in production of feasibility maps Tool exists but being made more accessible. We’ll build capacity internally and externally to apply and make a range of suitability/feasibility maps. Internal report identifying GEC risks and opportunities on selected technological interventions We’ll work with trainees on their own case studies. One master student report On Uganda - heat stress. CIAT

How to assess impact ILRI/Water CIAT

Framework, tools and training Output progress reporting Milestone – framework tested: “CLEANED+” – to be agreed how to document/publish Towards outcomes: presentations at e.g Maziwa Zaidi and GASL; capacity building One journal paper on combining spatial and household-level data for Sustainable Intensification Agreed with Mark and Todd but no dates fixed Excel- (and R-based) tools refined, documented and shared New version of excel tool ready; Still to check if we can include water dimension One journal article on the application of environmental ex-ante assessment Writing weeks blocked Training modules for assessment tools responding to identified training needs Follow up with Philip needed CIAT
