The Second Report on the State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture provides a comprehensive assessment of livestock biodiversity and its management. It draws together information provided in 129 country reports, 15 reports from international organizations, 4 reports from regional focal points and networks for animal genetic resources, and inputs from 150 individual authors and reviewers on:

  • The state of livestock diversity

  • Trends in the livestock sector

  • The state of capacity to manage animal genetic resources

  • The state of the art in animal genetic resources management

  • Gaps and needs in animal genetic resources management

and focuses particularly on changes that have occurred since the first report was published in 2007. The report, and brief versions in all FAO official languages, together with further communication material, key findings and actions needed to strengthen the management of AnGr are available on the
