Global Livestock CRSP: Challenges of horizontal problems in a vertical world? Montague Demment University of California, Davis

GL-CRSP Focus Themes  Environment  Human Nutrition  Economic Growth  Policy

WHY ENVIRONMENT?  Extensive interaction with landscapes  Major human use of the land  Global implications  Interaction with other major revenue sources

Grazed Lands of the World

Variability/Risk

Livestock Early Warning System (LEWS) Dr. Jerry Stuth Texas A&M University

Rangeland Conservation in Central Asia Dr. Emilio A. Laca University of California, Davis

Typical steppe, Kazakhstan Sagebrush-ephemeroid semidesert, Uzbekistan Shrub sandy desert, Turkmenistan Precipitation 324 mm yr mm yr mm yr-1 CO 2 Flux Sites

Participating institutions: UC-Davis GL/CRSP EROS Data CenterUtah State Univ. USDA-ARSSouth Dakota State Univ. Integration of CO 2 Flux Data: USDA-ARS & Central Asia  Importance to US –Functional similarities between US and Central Asian rangelands allows robust modeling for spatial extrapolation of CO 2 flux in the Northern Hemisphere. –Unified modeling approach across continents

SUMAWA: Sustainable Management of Watersheds - River Njoro Project Dr. Scott Miller University of Wyoming

The River Njoro Watershed

Yellowstone/Serengeti/Mara (YESEMA)  Management challenges of conserved areas surrounded by people dependent on livestock and managed by an array of government agencies in an environment of strong public input and attention.

GOBI FORAGE Forage Monitoring Technology to Improve Risk Management by Herders in the Gobi Region of Mongolia Dr. Jay Angerer Texas A&M

“ Community Planning for Sustainable Livestock-based Forested Ecosystems in Latin America” – Project PLAN — a complex integration of research and development “ Planificación Comunitaria Sustentable para Ecosistemas Boscosos Utilizados para Ganaderia en America Latina” – Proyecto PLAN — una integración compleja de investigación y desarrollo Dr. Tom Moermond University of Wisconsin, Madison

IMAS: INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: BALANCING FOOD SECURITY, CONSERVATION AND ECOSYSTEM INTEGRITY IN EAST AFRICA DAVID SWIFT Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory Fort Collins, Colorado, USA

WORLD IS FILLING UP  DEMANDS ON RESOURCES INCREASE  SOCIETAL SECTORS INTERACT MORE INTENSELY  PROBLEMS BECOME MORE COMPLEX  PROBLEMS CUT ACROSS DISCIPLINES

OBSERVATIONS  RESOURCES FLOW DOWN VERTICAL CHANNELS IN OUR INSTITUTIONS  LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS IS APPARENT  INCREASED KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO DESIGN AND MANAGE SUCH PROJECT WOULD BE USEFUL  RESOURCES TO EVALUATE AND LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE IS NOT A FOCUS OF DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

POINTS TO CONSIDER HOW TO SUPPORT HORIZONTAL PROGRAMS IN A VERTICAL WORLD? DEVELOP MECHANISMS TO CUT ACROSS INSTITUTIONAL BARRIERS (FOR EXAMPLE: TEAMS?) INTEGRATE NOT ISOLATE!

POINTS TO CONSIDER HOW TO LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE AND SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DESIGNING AND MANAGING THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS? MORE SCIENCE IN DEVELOPMENT PERHAPS: DEVELOPMENT SCIENCE ( EVALUATION ALONG WITH ASSESSMENT)

POINTS TO CONSIDER HOW TO ENSURE THAT KNOWLEDGE GENERATION IS VIEWED AS A COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS? GET INVOLVED!!!! EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE
