Welcome To FAnGRAsia

The FAO Global Action Plan has identified the lack of relevant institutional capacity as a key consraint to the conservation and utilisation of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR). Capacity building in the field of indigenous FanGR is therefore a high priority.

There is an urgent need to create awareness at the governmental decision-making levels on the issues and links between poverty alleviation in rural areas, improvement of indigenous livestock production and the conservation of diversity.

The long term objective of the project is to secure and improve livelihoods of poor livestock keepers through utilization and conservation of indigenous FAnGR.

The project objective will be achieved through improved understanding of the diversity and production potential of the genetic resources, increased knowledge of market potential, identification of niche and development of niche market opportunities and improvement in the policy environment in support of indigenous breeds.
