Climate change is a major concern for current livestock systems worldwide. It threatens their ability to support livelihoods and meet the increasing demand for livestock products. Yet, the topic is covered to a limited extent in global reports such as the ones produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
To help fill this gap, a team of scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has reviewed the risk of climate-related impacts along the land-based livestock food supply chain.
This review, published in Global Food Security, is framed around the concept of risk of climate-related impacts. Risk of climate-related impacts results from the interaction of climate-related hazards with the exposure and vulnerability of human and natural systems.
