Plants, Animals, And People
Drawing upon more than a decade of research in Asia, Africa and Latin America, this volume addresses the complex inter-relationships that characterize agropastoral production systems - the predominant form of agriculture throughout the developing world.

Gender Roles and Child Nutrition in Livestock Production Systems in Developing Countries
Based on a review of the literature, examines the gender division of labour and access to resources and benefits in smallholder livestock production systems and investigates the impact of livestock ownership and technology use on child nutrition. Presents two case studies which show how gender concerns are included in research to improve smallholder livestock systems.
