      abstract = {Livestock contribute to the livelihoods of 70% of the  world’s poor, including farmers, traders and labourers. The  next food revolution will dramatically expand production  and consumption of animal products in the developing world.  This revolution, however, also threatens the livelihoods of  these poor livestock keepers. Public international research  can mitigate this threat and thus contribute to addressing  broad developmental goals of sustainable poverty reduction,  food security and enhanced livelihoods. The ‘livestock  revolution’ can provide tremendous opportunities to relieve  poverty and hunger worldwide, and could increase the  ability of millions of poor people to move out of a  subsistence existence and to join the market economy. But  the competitive advantages of the smallholder farmer may be  lost to largescale commercial producers, should public  international research not place these concerns high on the  world agenda. This shift in competitive advantage is  associated with a range of forces driving change, including  population growth, globalisation, and growing concerns with  zoonoses and food safety. This paper discusses the impact  of this livestock revolution on smallholder systems and the  capacity of these systems to contribute to social and  economic development. It then examines the role public  research can play in enhancing the competitiveness of  smallholders by addressing the technical, institutional and  policy issues that put them at a disadvantage. Finally, the  paper explores the funding position for such global public  goods research, showing how benefits of such research will  accrue to developed countries as well as to developing  nations, thus supporting the rationale for North–South  cooperation in this endeavour.},
