Grant Description

This Concept Paper describes a proposed Livestock-Climate Change (LCC) Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) that will research the impacts of climate change on livestock production systems and target its direct and indirect challenges to livestock, human and environmental health. Livestock, humans, and the environment form three synergistic, interactive and integrated sectors on a pyramidal base and overarching climate change impacts the three conjoined sector nodes. The association of humans and animals often creates conditions that affect the health of both and changes their environment. The term “health” includes resources, disease, and nutrition.
