In order to properly describe livestock functions in the Communal Lands of Zimbabwe, and to understand farmers' objectives with respect to livestock, a close look at the farming systems and the environment in which these systems have developed is necessary.

This publication has been made possible as a result of generous financial support from the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Ottawa.
