Regeneration and sustainable management of CPRs can contribute to increased benefit for the livestock-dependent poor
by ruchita — published Mar 12, 2015 — last modified Mar 12, 2015 07:57 PM — filed under: ,
This brief builds upon a number of Good Practices on CPRs‐livestock collated by the South Asia Pro‐Poor Livestock Policy Programme. It aims to show that investing in CPRs is not only good for the livestock dependent poor, but it is also good economics and good policy; and draws some lessons for the design of policies, programmes and institutions supporting CPR development.

Small Ruminant Rearing – Sub-sector Overview and major challenges/ constraints
by ruchita — published May 29, 2015 — last modified May 29, 2015 11:11 AM — filed under: , ,
Around 70% of the goat and sheep in the country are reared by small and marginal farmers and landless households. While sheep rearing is most often the primary source of livelihood for shepherds, who often belong to distinct communities (for example the Raikas of Rajasthan, Dhangars of Maharashtra, Kurubas of Karnataka) goat rearing is a supplementary, support activity for other livelihoods, particularly agriculture. Sheep are reared in relatively larger herds (averaging 60-70) whereas goats are reared in smaller numbers (9-10). Goat rearing is also characterized by a greater involvement of women.
