Version Update: 28 August 2020
From Crisis to Action – Lessons from COVID-19 for Building a Better Future through
Sustainable Livestock
A GASL Online Global MSP Meeting from 14 to 18 September 2020 with preparatory regional
meetings from 31 August to 15 September 2020
Motivation
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global issue, with crucial short and long-term consequences, and
the livestock sector must play its role in contributing to more sustainable, healthy future food
systems. All livestock stakeholders have a role to play in articulating COVID’s impacts on the
sector and ensuring sustainable livestock fully contribute to building forward on all development
aspects. With a multi-stakeholder approach, the meeting will identify COVID-19’s impacts and
strategize stakeholder responses worldwide to build forward a more sustainable future from the
livestock sector.
Global Objectives
Facilitate a global discussion among GASL stakeholders and the wider development
community to assess the diversity of opportunities and challenges derived from the
COVID-19 pandemic across different regions of the world
Strategize how the livestock sector can respond towards more sustainable food systems, an
enhanced One Health approach and stronger food security outcomes
Prepare inputs for the June 2021 GASL MSP Meeting in Delémont, Switzerland, and for
the 2021 Food Systems Summit

Figure 1: Global Objectives of the GASL Online MSP
Global Outcome
Better understand and identify actions to support the role of sustainable livestock in the recovery
from COVID-19 and in the prevention of similar events
Regional Objective
Present regional impacts of COVID-19 and assess drivers of change, consequences and
stakeholder responses to the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the four
sustainability domains of food and nutrition security, livelihoods and economic growth, animal
health and animal welfare and climate and resource use (see Annex 1for domain definitions and a
template to ease the gathering of contributions to the Global MSP meeting). Identify options in the
short, medium and long run, on how the livestock sector could improve its response through a
sustainable livestock approach with solutions of multi-stakeholder nature.
Regional Outcomes
The regional outcomes will be tailored to each region’s particular conditions and will have a
common base for global consolidation of results by orienting the discussion towards COVID-19’s
impacts and mitigation actions under different livestock production systems and the four
sustainability domains, in addition to actions to prevent a future sanitary crisis.

Modality
A panel discussion inviting different experts to discuss a set of questions.
Experts across sectors, industry, NGOs, Governments, Academia
This will be followed by a Menti poll of registered participants and viewers
Preparation
Case studies to be collected from different countries and regions from partners and
through a rapid survey
Key questions
1. How does one prevent future zoonotic epidemics and pandemics?
Many experts say that the answer to preventing such outbreaks which lead to enormous
loss of animal lives, farmers' livelihoods and to national economies can best be prevented
by increasing biosecurity, i.e. hermetically isolating livestock from the outside world. Such
an approach would be out of reach for Asia's countless small livestock keepers for whom
animals are the basis of their livelihoods. But it can also be argued that the industrial
livestock operations (poultry and pigs) create ideal conditions for the outbreaks of diseases
by amassing large numbers of genetically uniform animals with low disease resistance in
one spot.
2. Measuring and building resilience
Resilience including the farm system, herd and individual level.
The system’s ability to recover and adapt to external ‘stressors’ such as changes in
feed prices, climate, legislation and disease outbreaks as well as pandemics
Social , ecological , indicators
Outputs
1. Discussion report and poll answers
12
2. Thought provoking articles in regional languages on responsible livestock rearing as a
possible output, including in Mandarin and Hindi as they are spoken and read by a wide
number of people. The articles could be requesting consumers to think about the livestock
products they consume.

Annex 1: The four sustainability domains of the 2019-2021 GASL Action Plan adapted from
the 2018 Global forum for Food and Agriculture, Berlin
Food and nutrition security: Going beyond livestock systems, GASL will contribute to the
emergence of sustainable and healthy food systems. This will be possible through the change of
practices of practitioners and consumers, who acknowledge and benefit from the multi-
functionality of livestock, as an essential part of their sustainable food system. GASL will
contribute to satisfying the growing demand for animal sourced food in healthy diets while
protecting ecosystems.
Livelihoods and economic growth: GASL partners contributed to improved livelihoods and
economic growth by creating attractive employment opportunities in the livestock systems. These
systems will become equitable and economically viable and contribute to poverty alleviation. The
development of a circular economy contributed to these aspects as well as to an improved
management of natural resources. By doing so, livestock became appreciated in its multi-
functionality by society. To continue to adapt to emerging challenges, the innovation capacity in
livestock systems will increase and contribute to improve the livelihoods and economic growth of
mankind across the world.
Animal health and animal welfare: Thanks to a change of practices of stakeholders in animal
production or input supply subsectors, as well as the adoption of stricter legislation, GASL
expects that there will be responsible and prudent use of veterinary medicines across the globe.
GASL partners will contribute to an increased control of foodborne and zoonotic diseases. This
will be made possible by the improvement of health related institutional collaboration, improved
national and regional policies facilitating early detection, strengthened partnerships in the health
community (One Health principle) and an evolution of practices of stakeholders in contact with
animal products along the value chains, including consumers. Following the Covid-19 pandemic,
GASL will play a role in preventing and building resilience to future pandemics.
Climate and natural resource use: Ultimately, GASL partners hope to contribute to reach an
important number of sustainable livestock systems globally as well as in specific contexts. This
will also go together with a maximisation of the potential of livestock to mitigate GHG. A more
efficient use of natural resources will be achieved together with an optimisation of the use of
livestock waste. GASL also has the ambition to contribute to the restoration of biodiversity as well
as to contribute to the conservation of domestic species. This will entail a change of policy as well
as a dedicated commitment of livestock practitioners around the world. The support of GASL to
the emergence of a circular economy will also be a major contribution.
