This call to action was endorsed at a Ministerial Meeting of the Specialized Technical Committee for Agriculture, Rural Development, Water, and Environment in November 2023, requiring immediate attention from African Union Member States to realize its significant benefits. ⏭ One of the key pillars of this call is the development of feed and fodder sectors or industries. This initiative aims to enhance the stabilization and efficiency of livestock production, enhancing the resilience of livelihoods, businesses, and economies, while also creating vital opportunities for youth employment. ⏭Economic Advancement Through Feed and Fodder Development: Investing in the development of feed and fodder sectors is crucial for stabilizing livestock production, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring the resilience of livelihoods, businesses, and economies reliant on livestock-based activities. ⏭ Dr. Mujib Nkambo, Senior Research Scientist, National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) speaks 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8gguVsH #RAFFS #FeedandFodderProduction Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation African Union - Economic Development, Tourism, Trade, Industry, Minerals (ETTIM) African Union ECOSOCC Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa - FARA

Since its conception phase, the Soil Values program, funded by the Netherlands DGIS, has sought to be inclusive. As a result, the program organized exchange workshops with national development actors supporting the agricultural sector in the countries concerned to adapt interventions to the specific realities of each target country. These national workshops produced four proposals, one for each of the four countries of intervention, which form the foundations of the Soil Values program.
