Livestock grazing systems and sustainable development in the Mediterranean and Tropical areas Recent knowledge on their strengths and weaknesses
Family-run ruminant grazing systems in the Mediterranean and tropical areas contribute directly to eight of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. For a long time, these livestock systems have been on the fringe of agricultural investment efforts. Howev...
