Kenya: Strengthening the livestock sector through improved fodder systems
The livestock sector is a critical pillar of Kenya’s economy and rural livelihoods, contributing significantly to food and nutrition security, household incomes and employment.
However, the productivity and resilience of Kenya’s livestock systems continue to face major challenges. Climate change, rising feed costs, and limited access to quality inputs are putting increasing pressure on farmers. Inadequate and unreliable access to quality fodder remains among the most persistent and limiting factors affecting livestock health and performance.
