Description:
<jats:p>Livestock production is an essential component of food security in developing countries across the globe. Apart from providing food, livestock production offers smallholder farmers a wide range of benefits, such as income, employment, and fuel. However, as human populations in developing countries increase, the demand for livestock production will also increase. At the same time, the world is experiencing rapid global warming, and climate change is expected to affect livestock production in multiple ways. This review paper aims to present insights on some livestock production areas, particularly beef and dairy, that are affected by climate change and will discuss possible adaptation and mitigation strategies for developing countries to adapt to and mitigate the impacts. </jats:p>
