Ensuring Access to Animal Source Foods through Research and Development

Exploring partnership to ensure access to animal-source foods Tom Randolph WUR-Livestock & Fish CRP Roundtable Consultation Wageningen, 19 March 2014

Our reasoning Small-scale systems can grow to ensure access Improve supply response through Intensification & professionalization Win-Win! Increase access to animal-source food + smooth transition for inclusive rural economic growth Smallholder farms + informal marketing systems, especially in rural areas Often competitive vis- -vis larger-scale, industrial, formal systems Poor rely on local production Nutrient-dense Improves availability of nutrients from plant-based foods Critical role of animal-source foods Food & Nutrition Security Access to an appropriately diverse diet

Urgency and focus for relevant research by considering the whole value chain Aiming our research to transform selected pro-poor Inputs & Services Production Processing Marketing Consumers value chains Major intervention led by development partners Focusing research to design and generate evidence for large-scale development Research partners working together in value chain interventions CRP Research Platforms Productivity: Animal health, genetics, feeds Market Innovation Targeting, Gender & Impact Prioritizing an appropriate balance of short and long-term research on the productivity drivers and social science For local solutions but with regional and global benefits INTERVENTIONS TO SCALE OUT REGIONALLY GLOBAL RESEARCH PUBLIC GOODS

Recognizing and harnessing the roles of research and development Stylized impact pathway for translating research into large- scale impact in a value chain PIPELINE Knowledge partner Relative degree of involvement Experiments Evaluation Evidence Research partners In 9 meat, milk and fish value chains, and through other CRPs and their Assessment Mobilization Best bets Attracting investment Implementing large-scale interventions sites Design Piloting Advocacy Dissemination Lessons Context Development partners Year 1 Program horizon in a target value chain Year 8-12

Focus, focus, focus! Working in 9 target value chains accountability SHEEP & GOATS AQUACULTURE PIGS DAIRY

Why partner with WUR? Broad agenda: need to deepen our capacity, achieve critical mass build on past links Like-minded: systems thinking Fill gaps in our capacity where we are weak Recognize Dutch support Tap into private sector connections Academic supervision

What we offer Long-term horizon for stable research agenda, engagement in selected countries Infrastructure and local partner networks in the field Strong impact orientation for attracting funding Funding for co-financing

The challenge Thinking of a longer-term joint program, not just a series of collaborative activities Appropriate modalities? Anything is possible

CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish livestockfish.cgiar.org livestockfish.cgiar.org CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems in sustainable ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
