 * Delete. Besides the concerns outlined by the OP, the article is written rather like an advertisement: "SAS works among the masses to transform unjust structures of society and to build harmonious communities of diverse peoples, religions, languages and cultures helping them to satisfy their basic human needs." Perhaps not surprising, as most of it is sourced to this 12-page paper, pp. 17—28, which is also written like an advertisement and is part of a collection with the subtitle "Marketing to promote local breeds and improve livelihoods". Note in the preliminary matter of this collection that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, as well as several other prestigious organizations involved, distance themselves from any responsibility for the opinions in the individual papers, and from any mention of specific companies or products. "The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of FAO, LPP or IUCN" (p. 4). So the mention in the footnote of the Food and Agriculture Organization as publisher, while true and surely offered in good faith, could be a little misleading.
