Impact of water scarcity on dryland sheep meat production and quality: Key recovery and resilience strategies

Obert C. Chikwanha et al.

Summary: Water scarcity poses a significant challenge to sheep production in arid areas, affecting carcass weight and meat quality. To mitigate its impact, adopting a new paradigm for water management focusing on risk reduction is necessary. However, existing resilience strategies are often underutilized due to lack of evidence, resources, and adaptive capacity.
