With increasing droughts and lands turning uncultivable, livestock are becoming the lifeline for farmers. However, changing temperatures are also impacting livestock mortality, increasing diseases and reducing productivity which require appropriate solutions and best practices to be promoted and adopted.
Small and marginal livestock rearers in many of the developing and under-developed geographies still practise farming in traditional ways which need innovations for improved efficiency, adaptation and value capture for the small farmer.
SELCO Foundation works across the animal husbandry landscape to develop solutions that makes it possible for small and marginal livestock rearers to strengthen their adaptation capacity. The solutions, driven by sustainable energy, also mitigate future climate risks and optimizes a sector that contributes the most to CO2 emissions.
