The mapping system is the result of a collaborative initiative between FAO (AGAL - Animal Production and Health Division) and ILRI to develop a global, one kilometre resolution, GIS map of livestock production systems. The first attempt to map livestock production systems, at least in the developing world, was by Thornton et al. in 2002, based on a classification scheme developed by Seré and Steinfeld in 1996. This version includes more accurate and higher spatial resolution input data.
