Which aspect is included in ILRI's research themes?

The inclusion of gender issues as an aspect of ILRI's research themes reflects the organization's commitment to understanding and addressing the challenges faced by different genders, particularly in relation to livestock and agricultural systems. By analyzing how gender influences access to resources, decision-making, and participation in agricultural activities, ILRI aims to promote equitable solutions that enhance the livelihoods of both women and men in rural communities. This focus on gender is critical for developing effective policies and interventions that recognize the unique roles and contributions of various gender groups, ultimately leading to more sustainable agricultural practices and improved food security.

The other themes, while important in their own right, do not align with ILRI's specific focus on livestock research and its social implications in the same way that gender issues do.
