The work of the LEAD initiative, located within the FAO, focuses on the close and complex interactions between government policies and the environmental impact of livestock production. Resources available include documents related to livestock, the environment and development and the Livestock and Environment Toolbox, an electronic decision support tool for policy makers, planers and project leaders, to enable them to assess interactions between livestock and the environment. The toolbox helps the decision makers to identify appropriate technology and policy interventions within the domain of animal production-environment interactions. LEAD also provides separate portals in French and Spanish.
