Poultry Training Video #1 Why Rear Poultry?

This training video is part of an engaging series of eight videos on sustainable poultry production. The videos are being used to help small-scale family farmers adopt good practices to improve and increase their poultry production (meat and eggs) for family consumption or sale.

The series was produced by the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme to help rural communities in tropical and semi-tropical regions reduce their dependence on wild meat consumption and to improve family nutrition.

The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. It is funded by the European Union and co-financed by the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency.

It is being implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
