DESCRIPTION:Global agriculture is at its critical point in the history of 
 humanity. With the world currently at 10 C warmer than pre-industrial lev
 els and projections to reach 1.50 C by 2030\, there is a call for urgent 
 actions. Within this context\, livestock must be part of the climate smar
 t agriculture and used to create solutions to mitigation and adaptation t
 o climate change. In addition\, livestock development is a key contributo
 r for the delivery of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. H
 owever\, tropical livestock production systems are currently the least pr
 oductive. The low level of productivity is attributable to a range of fac
 tors primarily associated with limited genetic improvement. Our work is f
 ocused on the development and application of innovative tools\, systems a
 nd capacities to contribute to sustainable and resilient livestock-driven
  food systems in Africa and other Low and middle income countries (LMICs)
