Building resilience in the Egyptian livestock subsector: Climate change impacts and scaling up solutions

Global Food and Nutrition Security

The livestock sector is a cornerstone of Egypt’s agricultural economy, contributing approximately 37.5 percent of the country’s total agricultural production value. It plays a vital role in food security, providing essential nutritional products such as milk and meat, while also supporting the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and rural families. However, this sector is facing increasing threats from climate change, which is exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and creating new challenges. In light of these developments, this report, provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of livestock production in Egypt, the impacts of climate change, and potential strategies to build resilience by scaling up CSL practices.
