Fine, J.C. | Lattimore, R.G. (Agriculture Canada, Ottawa (Canada). Commodity Markets Analysis Division)
The papers presented in this report provide an overview of the livestock sector, tracing the current pattern of livestock production and identifying the factors that will affect the farm economy in the future. To what extent should governments rely primarily on small scale farmers to expand livestock production? Will such farmers respond positively to higher prices for meat and dairy products? How will increased production of these products affect the supply of fertilizer and draft power, the output of cereal crops, and the availability of animal feed? Research priorities and potential problems involved in conducting research are also identified.
