The escalating threat of climate change is a major challenge to global food security. One of the ways to mitigate its impact is by developing crops that can withstand environmental stresses such
Farm size and its impact on land use: The case of the South
This study briefly discusses the relatively young private wildlife industry of South Africa which surfaced in the late 1990s, early 2000s. The industry has unique conservation management

The "cosmic crops" project is the United Nations'' first foray into space breeding, part of a global effort to address rising risks of food insecurity stemming from shifting land use
6 FAQs about [Can the land for storage be used for breeding ]
Why should livestock be bred?
Therefore, breeding efforts in livestock should focus on improved digestive and metabolic efficiency, resilience and adaptive capacities of animals and ability to use food of varying and lower nutritional value than actual feeds, to minimize the use of plant crops that can be used for human nutrition .
What is the potential carrying capacity of livestock and poultry breeding?
The potential carrying capacity of livestock and poultry breeding equals the difference between the theoretical maximum breeding level and the actual breeding level, calculated based on formula ((9). This represents the extra amount of livestock breeding accommodated by the regional crop manure demand.
Does agriculture development support sustainable animal breeding?
This new vision of agriculture development supported some aspects of sustainable animal breeding. Since 1992, the EU rural development programs provide measures to conserve local endangered livestock breeds.
What is sustainable animal breeding?
A concise definition of sustainable animal breeding was agreed upon by four working groups (ruminants, pig, poultry and aquaculture): “Genetics for future use”, later explained as “Produce animals that fit better into the environment for the production of good quality products for present and future generations in an acceptable manner” [1, 9].
Are land used changes related to local livestock breeds?
Finally, to analyse the relations between land used changes and local livestock breeds, we performed Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) models 85, where land cover intensification transition gradient was the response variable and local breed richness indices were the predictors.
Do livestock breed-environment relationships prevent successful conservation measures?
Yet, our gap of knowledge regarding livestock breed-environment relationships may prevent the design of successful conservation measures. In this work, we analyse the links between livestock diversity -i.e. richness of native breeds- and a selection of environmental factors that express at broad scales, with a temporal perspective.
