6. 6. BIOSCIENCES EASTERN AND CENTRAL AFRICA (BeCA-ILRI Hub) A strategic partnership between ILRI and AU-NEPAD. A biosciences platform that makes the best lab facilities available to the African scientific community. Building African scientific capacity. Identifying agricultural solutions based on modern biotechnology.

8. 8. ILRI resources 2015 Staff: 700+ Budget: nearly US$90 million Senior scientists from 39 countries 34% of internationally recruited staff are women --and 50% of the senior leadership team Main campuses in Kenya and Ethiopia, and offices in 17 other countries around the world
9. 9. The ILRI Mandate The partnership with AU-NEPAD and other CGIAR Centers opens the BecA-ILRI Hub as a biosciences facility for all of agriculture. Livestock and livestock related research focused on the developing world

13. 13. Huge increases over 2005/7 amounts of cereals, dairy and meat will be needed by 2050 From 2bn3bn tonnes cereals each year From 664m1bn tonnes dairy each year From 258m460m tonnes meat each year
14. 14. Demand for livestock commodities in developing economies will be met the only question is how Scenario #1 Meeting livestock demand by importing livestock products Scenario #2 Meeting livestock demand by importing livestock industrial production know-how Scenario #3 Meeting livestock demand by transforming smallholder livestock systems
15. 15. Whats special about animal/smallholder food? 90% of animal products are produced and consumed in the same country or region Most are produced by smallholders Over 70% of livestock products are sold informally 500 million smallholders produce 80% of the developing worlds food 43% of the agricultural workforce is female
16. 16. Sustainable animal food systems are a must Productivity and efficiency: Sufficient food with lower environmental foot print: Animal health, genetics, feeding Animal source foods: Safe, not wasted and consumed in appropriate quantities Emerging challenges: Zoonotic diseases Anti-Microbial Resistance
17. 17. Most (75%) emerging diseases come from animals and cost up to US $ 6 billion annually ILRI report to DFID: Mapping of Poverty and Likely Zoonoses Hotspots, 2012 Emerging zoonotic disease events, 19402012
18. 18. Costs of emerging zoonotic disease outbreaks (US$ billion) Period Cost (conservative estimates) 6 outbreaks excluding SARS Nipah virus (Malaysia) West Nile fever (USA) HPAI (Asia, Europe) BSE (US) Rift Valley fever (Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia) BSE (UK) costs 199709 only 19982009 38.7 SARS 20022004 41.5 Total over 12 years 19982009 80.2 World Bank 2012Giving an annual average of US$6.7 billion

20. 20. As much as half of the agricultural GHG emissions come from animals GHG per kg of animal protein produced varies hugely: Big opportunities to mitigate Herrero et al. 2013
21. 21. Mazingira House (ILRI environmental research centre) Background The only environmental research center in Africa with state-of-the art equipment for establishing environmental footprints (GHG, soil, water) for livestock production systems, operational since beginning of year 2015 Vision: To test and develop feeding and manure management strategies that increases livestock, feed and crop production while decreasing GHG emissions. Serving as a center for capacity building for environmental monitoring and assessments.
