        "content": "<p>Yogyakarta (ANTARA) - Gadjah Mada University (UGM) expert Professor\nSiti Indarwati has emphasised the importance of building livestock\nsystems that are not only productive but also resilient in facing\nclimate change, globalisation, disasters and various social and economic\npressures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClimate change is no longer a future threat, but a reality that is\nalready being felt directly by farmers today,\u201d said the Professor of the\nUGM Faculty of Animal Science in Yogyakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>She added that livestock health, business productivity and the\nsustainability of farmers\u2019 livelihoods can also be affected by climate\nchange.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the livestock sector occupies a unique position, as\non one hand it is one of the sectors affected by climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, on the other hand, this sector also has the opportunity to\ncontribute to climate change mitigation through the application of more\nsustainable technology and business management,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, she said, mitigation and adaptation strategies need to be\ncarried out in an integrated manner. Mitigation is directed at improving\nproduction efficiency, improving feed quality, utilising feed\ntechnology, processing livestock waste into biogas, and implementing\nenvironmentally friendly livestock systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, adaptation is carried out through modification of\nproduction systems and management, development of livestock that are\nmore tolerant of heat stress, strengthening farmer institutions,\nutilising information technology, and increasing the capacity of\nfarmers\u2019 human resources,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Siti emphasised the Sustainable Livelihood Framework concept as one\nof the important approaches for understanding the sustainability of\nfarmers\u2019 lives. The success of farming as a livelihood is not only\ndetermined by livestock productivity, but also by the ability to manage\nvarious livelihood assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe five capitals that form the foundation include natural, human,\nsocial, physical and financial capital. These five capitals need to be\nstrengthened so that farmers have better capacity to face shocks and\nreduce vulnerability,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
