• Livestock and greenhouse gas emissions: The importance of getting the numbers right (2011, background): “The importance of livestock in providing human societies with food, incomes, employment, nutrients and risk insurance is widely recognized (Perry and Sones, 2007; Herrero et al., 2009).”
• Reconciling biodiversity conservation and food security: scientific challenges for a new agriculture (2010, background): “While livestock and mixed farming systems may also support biodiversity [45], alternative strategies will have to be found for livestock producer livelihoods, wherever transformation to cropland is considered necessary.”
• Sustaining intensification of smallholder livestock systems in the tropics (2010, background): “However, in terms of area, pastoral systems predominate, particularly in Africa (Herrero et al., 2009a,b).”
• LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics * (2015, positive): “Global demand for meat, milk, and eggs is expected to double by 2050, with the largest increases occurring in developing countries (Delgado et al. 2001; Herrero et al. 2009) (Table 1).”
• Assessing global land use : balancing consumption with sustainable supply (2014, background): “An important driver for land use change and related impacts is the growing animal production wordwide (Herrero et al. 2009).”
• Sustainability of pasture-based livestock farming systems in the European Mediterranean context: Synergies and trade-offs (2011, background): “As mentioned earlier, carbon sequestration of grassland can be very significant but it is difficult to measure and monitor (Herrero et al., 2009).”
