Investment in livestock and climate solutions lags far behind within agricultural investments. Addressing livestock’s GHG footprint alongside its livelihood and nutritional contributions requires greater investment in the generation and application of solutions. The session will highlight the important benefits of investing in sustainable livestock systems for achieving SDGs and optimizing environmental impact, while producing nutrient-dense food and supporting economic and social sustainability. Drawing on public and private sector insights from the Americas and Africa, we will highlight how investment spurs innovations, policies and platforms that can shift the livestock sector toward achieving the goals of food security, economic returns to farmers and adaptation and mitigation goals while conserving nature.
