Livestock make an important contribution to total food production and rural economy. Animal products are a source of disposable income for many small farmers in developing countries, and livestock raising utilizes family labour while providing significant employment in off-farm meat, milk and fibre-processing enterprises. Milk and meat production is increasing at a faster rate than that of cereals and other foods. 3, record 1, English, - food%20production

L'élevage joue un rôle important dans la production alimentaire et l'économie rurale. Les produits animaux constituent une source de revenu immédiatement disponible pour les petits exploitants dans les pays en développement et l'élevage utilise la main-d'oeuvre familiale tout en procurant de nombreux emplois dans les entreprises de transformation de la viande, du lait et des fibres en dehors des exploitations. Le secteur de la production de lait et de viande se développe à un rythme plus rapide que le secteur des céréales et des autres produits vivriers. 3, record 1, French, - production%20alimentaire
