Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)Summary:
The introduction of tropical sheep, as a new opportunity for farmers under mixed farming systems, is a step towards raising the level of productive efficiency of the traditional farming system. The establishment of sheep production systems that are efficient and sustainable would enhance household food security, generate some form of income to rural households, and offer some employment opportunities.
