Its research is intended to help to build sustainable livestock pathways out of poverty in low-income countries and to help people in those countries to keep their farm animals alive and productive, to increase and sustain their livestock and farm productivity, and to find profitable markets for their animal products.[5][self-published source?] Research covers five broad areas: the natural environment; food; gender; health; and prosperity.[6]
