Family poultry production - Introduction to family poultry economics

Published by - Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN

The video describes the contribution of economics to the development of different family poultry production systems, including scavenge based, free range, semi-intense and intensive systems. The specific characteristics and differences between these four systems are explained and how they are influenced by the critical resources and the input and output markets. This presentation is part one of a five part series on the economics of family poultry production.

The content of the video was prepared by Prof. Dr. Jonathan Rushton for Associate Poultry Advisers as part of a training programme organized by FAO in cooperation with IFAD.
