Description The inception workshop of stakeholders in the new project "Increasing Livestock
Productivity in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in South Asia" was held at the
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT),
Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India f rom the 15-17 November, 1999. The
workshop brought together natural and social scientists.
Three international agricultural research centers (International Crops Research
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, the International Livestock Research Institute,
and the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maiz y Trigo) of the Consultative
Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) were represented. The
national agricultural research systems (NARS) of four countries in South Asia;
Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka and one advanced institution - the Natural
Resources Institute (NRI ) , University of Greenwich, UK - also participated in the
workshop.
The purpose of this project is to develop a crop-livestock typology that wi l l
ultimately improve the effectiveness of technical and socio-economic
interventions aimed at improving animal performance and protecting the natural
resource base at farm level in South Asia. The workshop provided an overview of
the project proposal, the allocation of resources for specific activities, the
definition of specific milestones, a description of crop-livestock systems in the
regions and the status of data available on livestock production in the four
countries.
The CGIAR Systemwide Livestock Program (SLP), co-ordinated by the
International Livestock Research Institute ( ILRI ) , financially supported the
workshop. This initiative was established in 1995 to promote the formation of ecoregional
research consortia between the crop and livestock centers of the CGIAR,
the NARS and advanced institutions in developed countries to address common
problems. The SLP is a component of the global research program of the ILRI .
