LEAP - Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance Partnership
The LEAP Partnership was founded in 2012 as a result of a consultative process between FAO’s Animal Production and Health Division with three stakeholder groups (governments, private sector and civil society).
The overarching goal of this initiative is to contribute to improved environmental performance of the livestock sector while considering social and economic viability. The Partnership will contribute towards the achievement of this goal through support to decision-making by providing guidance on environmental assessments and their subsequent application.
The Partnership promotes an exchange of data and information, technical expertise and research geared towards improving and harmonizing the way in which livestock food chains are assessed and monitored.
