Beyond milk, meat, and eggs: Role of livestock in food and nutrition security (2013, background): “…in urbanized economies, there may be less opportunities for smallholder provision of livestock commodities; but this also varies, with smallholders being far more competitive, for example, in the dairy sector, but far less likely to prosper for monogastric production (Tarawali et al., 2011).”
Climate change adaptation and mitigation in smallholder crop–livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: a call for integrated impact assessments (2016, background): “Smallholder crop–livestock systems play an important role in sub-Saharan African agriculture because of their areal extent, livelihood provision and impact on ecosystem services (Tarawali et al. 2011; Thornton and Herrero 2015).”
Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2015, background): “Particularly in these mixed systems, livestock keeping is a central livelihood element and CR a fundamental feed source (McIntire et al., 1992; Tarawali et al., 2011).”
