Summary
Livestock is the main user of land and it is source of livelihood for 1 billion people and total meat production in the developing world has tripled between 1982 and 2002 from 45 million to 134 million tons (World Bank, 2009). According to Thornton (2010), this increased production was concentrated in countries that experienced rapid economic growth such as in East Asian countries whereas livestock production in developed countries experienced stagnation. This two combination become opportunities for developing countries to make expansion in agricultural business. To Thornton et al (2009) livestock in developing countries are changing rapidly due to some factors such as increasing in global population and climate change This driving factors eventually affect the livestock system, the complex system where mix of technological, policy, and institutional are interrelated. It is an irony when Indonesia with vast areas and abundant local livestock resources still imports livestock product from abroad
