Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective. Livestock's many virtues. (2012, background): “…growth in developing countries, because a large share of the rural poor keep livestock as contributors to their livelihoods (FAO, 2009b; LID, 1999; Thornton et al., 2002) and because livestock have a variety of characteristics that make them important contributors to sustainable rural development.”
