The purpose of the expert consulation was to review of current policies that affect the management of livestock and natural resources, focussing on sub-regions and different agro-ecological settings and the identification of policy trade-off. Presentations/resource papers were delivered from each of the five different sub-regions of the Latin American/Caribbean region (Amazon/Brazil; Andean countries/highlands; Central American countries and Mexico; Southern Cone; Caribbean). The expert consultation also concentrated on the formulation of policy guidelines for incorporation into national policies, taking into account social, economic and environmental objectives. Policy guidelines were developed in small working groups with a sub-regional focus. Specific attention was given to the adequacy of policy guidelines for different natural resource issues (deforestation, degradation of grazing land, nutrient deficits in mixed farming systems, animal waste).
