The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faces significant challenges in ensuring food security and nutrition for its growing population. Livestock plays a vital role in the regional economy and food systems; however, the sector encounters various obstacles. This presentation emphasizes the importance of livestock in MENA, explores the evolution of farming systems, and identifies key trends impacting the sector. Additionally, it examines the challenges confronting the livestock sector and discusses frameworks for enhancing its role in food security and nutrition, particularly in the context of restoring large rangelands for sustainable development.
