His career with IFAD began in 2000 as a consultant, leaving in 2004 to join FAO as Livestock Adviser in Afghanistan, where he was responsible for the implementation of the “Rural Poultry Production” and “Integrated Dairy Schemes” Development Projects. He re-joined IFAD in 2006 as Senior Technical Adviser on Livestock and Farming Systems and since then, among his various responsibilities, he has been particularly proactive, launching a Community of Practice for Pro-poor Livestock Development (www.cop-ppld.net). Mr. Rota coordinates the CoP with the specific objective of promoting livestock as a tool for poverty reduction. He is also a promoter for the integration of livestock-crop systems, conservation agriculture principles and production of biogas as means for sustainable agriculture intensification and climate change mitigation throughout IFAD funded projects. The essential role played by family poultry development for food security, women’s empowerment and income generation has been widely recognized by the international community, technical experts and research, as well as policy makers and governments. In a number of developing countries, family poultry represents up to 80 per cent of the aviculture sector generating considerable employment opportunities in rural and peri-urban areas, especially for women. Nevertheless, this sector has never received the necessary attention from national policy and decision makers, international donors and research institutes. Only further to the crises generated by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and due to the rising cost of producing food, considerable interest has been spurred both at the national level and within the “donor community” in supporting family poultry development projects. However, promoting family poultry presents several challenges. On one side, there is a recurrent call for the “modernization” of “traditional” family poultry production systems, which are often dismissed as “non-productive”. On the other side, projects supporting family poultry are not properly tailored to the needs and capacity of rural populations. Furthermore, in some cases, such projects promote approaches and practices that are not sustainable, or simply “do not work” in the long term. Over the past few years, some NGOs, national research institutes and international organizations such
