Track 2-08: Impacts on and Adaptation of Livestock Production Systems to Climate Change

Description

Global changes impact breed societies through complex and diverse factors such as global economics, climate change, management and degradation of rangelands, societal demands especially from youth, and new technologies including information and communication technologies. The main objective of this research developed by Livestock farming and local development network (LiFLod, http://liflod.org/) network is to better understand the mental models of local stakeholders for global change and adaptation strategies. Our hypothesis is that in harsh conditions breeders with diverse objectives adopt more or less similar strategies when faced with global change.
