Geoinformatics Options by Contexts for Sustainable Livestock Management (GeOC4SLiM) - An User Manual with Focus on Interfaces and Operational Functions

Abstract

Sustainable Livestock Management (SLiM) are required to interrelated UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on poverty alleviation, achieved food security, improved nutrition, promoted sustainable agriculture and land degradation neutrality. The high contextual diversity of drylands in particular prevents the design and application of “uniform blanket” policies to promote SLiM over large scales where significant impacts are expected. The Geoinformatics Options by Context for promoting Sustainable Livestock Management options (GeOC4SLiM) has designed to provide stakeholders/projects and programmes with standardized description of SLiM options, and plausible extrapolation domains for supporting outscaling of SLiM options. This user manual focuses on interfaces and operational functions of the GeOC4SLiM tool.
