Global livestock mapping: from data collection to information dissemination
FAO Senior Officers Information Forum
? January, 2005

2. Outline Overview of FAO’s livestock information system Data collection
Livestock modelling
Information dissemination
Applications of global livestock distributions

3. FAO’s livestock information system
SALB / UNCS
OGC - compatible
ISO metadata
FAOSTAT
GeoNetwork
(KIDS)
Agro-MAPS
EMPRES-I
Sub-national livestock data
Sub-national admin. boundaries
Livestock disease data
Livestock prod. coefficients
Oracle Database
GLiPHA
Livestock modelling
Livestock sector reports
Ad hoc queries and reports

4. Data collection Sub-national administrative boundaries
Standards and codes (UNCS, SALB, FAO-SDRN)
Sub-national livestock data
Global network of data providers
Statistical year books, project contacts, Internet
Data verification - link to FAOSTAT
Livestock disease data
OIE standards
Livestock production coefficients
Regional estimates

5. Livestock modelling Sub-national numbers from database
Area suitable for livestock (slope, land-use etc.)
Sub-national “Observed” densities
Environmental predictor variables (5 km rasters)
Ecological zonation (cluster analysis)
Multivariate models for each zone
“Predicted” density of livestock
Adjust to observed totals where available
Adjust to FAOSTAT 2000 national totals

6. Cattle in Africa - Observed

7. Cattle in Africa - Predicted

8. Information dissemination
Database query
Livestock sector reports
Ad hoc queries and reports
Web-based information dissemination
GLiPHA
GeoNetwork
Output to other FAO applications (planned?)
EMPRES-I
Agro-MAPS
FAOSTAT (2)

9. GLiPHA on the Web

10. GLiPHA on the Web better slides Pius?

11. GLiPHA on the Web

12. GLiPHA on the Web

13. GeoNetwork on the Web
FAO’s portal for hosting and sharing georeferenced thematic information
Provides a common metadata structure and search facility through which geographic (map) outputs can be searched for and downloaded by users
Claudia should be able to produce some additional, more relevant slides

14. Applications * examples
Livestock projections
Livestock production system classification
Livestock production estimates *
Environmental risk mapping *
Livestock disease risk mapping *
Public health risk mapping
Poverty analysis
Policy analysis
