Tropical forages in Africa: an integrated solution for soil carbon storage, livestock productivity, and improved rural livelihoods
In East Africa, particularly in Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania, scientific teams are conducting research aimed at identifying tropical forage species with the potential to improve animal nutrition, increase soil carbon sequestration, and enhance agricultural productivity. These initiatives seek to support smallholder farmers’ adaptation to climate change and contribute to the development of more sustainable farming systems.
