Seeding solutions: How forage innovation can close Southeast Asia’s ruminant feed gap
Southeast Asia’s appetite for animal-sourced foods is growing rapidly, but ruminant livestock farmers across the region are hitting a hard limit: there simply isn’t enough quality feed to go around. Without change, this shortage will hold back productivity, rural incomes, and the sustainability of livestock systems.

Southeast Asia’s appetite for animal-sourced foods is growing rapidly, but ruminant livestock farmers across the region are hitting a hard limit: there simply isn’t enough quality feed to go around.
