Abstract
In the Pacific, livestock plays a critical multi-purpose role in smallholder agriculture, most importantly as a source of protein and as a celebratory food in cultural, social and religious activities. At the national level, livestock production is a significant source of employment and food security and contributes positively to foreign exchange earnings (SPC 2009). This chapter describes the current status of livestock production in the Pacific, the potential impacts of future climate change, research/knowledge gaps relating to climate change impacts, and management and institutional adaptation recommendations.
