Unlocking the potential of smallholder livestock production‐using managed forages as an entry point

摘要：

In Southeast Asia, smallholder farmers operate small, mixed crop‐livestock farms.Farmers rely largely on common property feed resources that are heavily over‐utilized and are becoming increasingly scarce.Farmers are faced with declining livestock productivity because of an increasing feed gap.They have little control over the use of common property feed resources and find that they need to spend more and more time herding and feeding their animals.Livestock production based on common‐property feed resources is fast becoming a less and less attractive farm enterprise.
