et al., 2020; IPCC WGIII AR6 Section 7.4.3). While the technological and ecological feasibility of improving livestock production systems is high , there are multiple context-specific barriers to adoption. These include the lack of coordinated policy support or governance, potentially high implementation costs and limited access to finance, inadequate advisory, knowledge exchange or infrastructural capacity , the potential land requirements and associated ecological impacts of adjusting livestock management, lack of context-specific research  and socio-cultural barriers limiting access by women or low-income groups to better breeds or feed varieties , as well as women losing influence in the household in some contexts when farms intensify . In dryland livestock systems in Ethiopia and Kenya, Ericksen and Crane  find that low governance capacities to implement improved grazing regimes constrain improved grassland management.
