A baker’s dozen of our favourite communications in 2019

Postscript

If you read nothing else that ILRI published this year, please consider this white paper ILRI published with the World Economic Forum in Jan 2019: Options for the livestock sector in developing and emerging economies to 2030 and beyond, in WEF’s ‘Meat: The Future’ series. This high-profile report encapsulates many of ILRI’s central messages about the many central roles livestock systems, livelihoods, foods, nutrition and environments play in the world’s developing and emerging economies.
