This document focuses on improving food security in Africa: the ignored contribution of livestock. The main thrust and vision highlighted in this monograph are concerned with the eradication of hunger and malnutrition in Africa. Prerequisites for the realization of such thrust and vision include good understanding of the concepts of good food and food security, the intricate relation between public health and food security and the need to recognize and exploit the considerable potential of livestock as a means to foster poverty alleviation and access to healthy nutrition in Africa.
