“…Moreover, most animals are slaughtered at informal rural slaughter slabs because there are no formal abattoirs in the district and the meat is ferried to small butchers' shops in the villages and neighboring towns without any further value addition. Prasanna and Shiratake (2014) found that the local dairy industry of Kurunegala in Srilanka is constrained by poor extension/veterinary services, low prices, and poor demand. Moreover, among other challenges, Addis (2019) found that seasonality of production, lack of milk collecting facilities, poor animal health management, inadequate supply of quality feed, low productivity and genetics, lack of processing plants, inadequate permanent trade routes and other facilities, prevalence of diseases, lack of credit and inadequate market information are dominant in the local dairy industry in Ethiopia.…”

The failure of macro-economic policies to deliver meaningful reductions in poverty and achieve basic needs in Tanzania has provoked a deep questioning of the relevance of economic growth center policies in Local Economic Development (LED). The government and development partners are increasingly shifting from the traditional top down approaches to the all-inclusive bottom up approaches for effective local development. The concept of sustainable Local Economic Development is thus examined in the context of economic activities and challenges using a case study of Shinyanga region in Tanzania.

“…It is evident in the wide literature on the impacts of dairying on economic, social and environmental factors that dairying can be a means for improving factors of sustainable livelihoods. Dairy production has been shown to play an influential role in reducing poverty in rural communities in Sri Lanka and elsewhere (Hemme & Otte, 2010;Prasanna & Shiratake, 2014). It can provide economic outcomes for people in developing countries; increased dairy production can create a number of social benefits that intersect gender issues and can positively impact on health through improved nutrition (through consumption and incomes); and there is considerable variation in the environmental impacts of dairying that are influenced by scale, best practice and the willingness of dairy actors to emphasise sustainability.…”

New Zealand Aid and Dairy Development in Sri Lanka

<p>New Zealand’s aid investment in dairy development is seen, on the one hand, as a means to improve economic, health and food security issues in developing countries. Dairy development, further, is linked to New Zealand’s trade interests and supports industry expansion strategies that target the market potential in developing countries. On the other hand, it is argued that dairy consumption and production should be reduced to respond to climate change and potential negative health impacts in countries with traditionally low dairy consumption. The potential impacts of dairy development on sustainable development are complex, interconnected and contradictory. Moreover, local and gendered understandings of the impacts of dairy development are underrepresented in literature. Drawing on a sustainable livelihood approach and gender lens as a theoretical framework, this research explores smallholder farmers’ views through a case study of a New Zealand-funded aid project in Sri Lanka, the Wanni Dairy Project, which is increasing dairy production to improve rural livelihoods. In doing so, this thesis considers the multiple impacts of dairy development on sustainable livelihoods. In particular, it explores understandings of social, gender and environmental factors. Data was collected during five weeks of qualitative, case study research (using interviews, photovoice and observation methods) with female, conflict-affected farmers in Sri Lanka and stakeholders in dairy development. This thesis contends that better understandings of the impacts of dairy development and aid can be valuably informed by local perspectives. It highlights the inherent connectivity between social, environmental and economic factors of the Wanni Dairy Project, and areas of dissonance between local understandings of the impacts of dairy development and global discourse on sustainable development. Specifically, this thesis draws attention to the diverse impacts of increasing income, health factors, and cultural and religious factors; it highlights women’s independence, empowerment and agency, and ongoing inequities; and it addresses environmental impacts, climate change, and the implications of scale. This research, therefore, contributes to the information upon which development policy-makers and practitioners – government, development organisations and private sector actors – can base effective and sustainable development policy and practice.</p>
