Title Sustainable Livestock Management under Changing Climate in Central Asia
 
Creator Nishanov, Nariman
 
Description Livestock production in Central Asian countries faces several challenges. Firstly, it is an
increasing demand for livestock products fueled by the growing human population in the region
as well as by the increasing incomes. Secondly, this region already faces difficulties in sustaining
livestock production due to the changing climate. In this regard, this paper reviews the current
state of natural resource management, the existing issues and solutions, and what the region can
expect in near future in the conditions of changing climate and environment. The paper describes
the current condition of livestock production and rangeland resources and their utilization in the
post-independence period in the five Central Asian states, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It also reviews the existing livestock production systems
in the region. Issues addressed in the paper include degradation of rangelands, influence of
livestock production to environment and already felt climate change indicators. The paper further
provides a list of possible solutions to above mentioned issues. In the final part of the paper,
there is a forecast for meat consumption, population growth, climate change, and change of livestock
production systems.
