ISBN 978-1-59726-673-4 There is little doubt that some of the contributors to the two volumes are already well known by their readers. The authors have made an important attempt to review a vast literature on global livestock production systems. In my view this attempt by the authors to provide global perspectives of shifting livestock production has benefitted many agencies as is shown by the list of supporting institutions . The global and regional attention given to livestock sector production is therefore a welcome development. In volume 1 which consists of 20 Chapters the focus is on developed and developing countries. Global livestock production is consumer driven as the demand for food particularly on the part of the growing urban populations increases. By highlighting the different geographical dimensions of the production and the transfer of livestock-based production the book aims to show linkages between the formal and informal market food chains. The emphasis is on environmental impacts. .
