Future-proofing in Africa through feed systems
An article about how Kenya and Ethiopia are bolstering drought defenses with feed security systems proved popular last month.
Newly established national animal feed security systems in Kenya and Ethiopia are helping these African nations prepare for droughts and maximize utilization of their feed resources.
A long-term project led by the FAO and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is working towards the implementation of feed security systems across East Africa. While still in its infancy, this approach will help development and humanitarian partners, governments, private sector, agencies and livestock farmers to better plan feed requirements and organize resources, says the FAO.
