Objective• Eradication of food insecurity and rural poverty

Strategies• Policy and regulatory frameworks for food, agriculture, fisheries

and forestry• Sustainable increases in the supply and availability of food and

other products from the crop, livestock, fisheries and forestry sectors

• Conservation, improvement and sustainable use of natural resources for food and agriculture

• Improving decision-making through provision of information and assessments and fostering of knowledge management for food and agriculture

AGA Livestock

ProgrammeProgramme Entities

• Contribution of livestock to poverty alleviation

low intensity production: “classical zoonoses” (brucellosis, tuberculosis, trichinellosis)low intensity production: “classical zoonoses” (brucellosis, tuberculosis, trichinellosis)

zoonoses of “intensification”: caused by bacteria(coli, salmonella, campylobacter) because of animal movements and food processing; antibiotic resistance

emerging zoonoses (Nippah virus, BSE, avian flu); creation of “new” pathogens

Livestock and their products can be a major public health hazard
