The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is an international organisation working for better lives and better planet through livestock.
⚠️ Ruminant livestock in Zambia and Zimbabwe are increasingly vulnerable to seasonal feed shortages, high feed costs, and droughts caused by climate change. This puts the livelihoods and incomes of smallholder farmers under serious threat.
💡 To combat this, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and local partners have introduced a vital solution: nine new high-quality, forage-based diets available through the Rural Mills brand.
🌿 Made from drought-tolerant forages, these feeds are high in protein and energy. Not only do they keep livestock healthy when rangeland feed is inadequate, but they also give farmers the opportunity to grow forages for their own use or commercial sale—creating new income streams and strengthening rural industries. 📈🐄

Food safety is everyone's business—from the farm all the way to our dinner plates! 🍲✨
Did you know that informal markets are the primary source of affordable food for millions of households across Sub-Saharan Africa? Ensuring this food is safe is one of our greatest opportunities to improve child nutrition and public health.
In celebration of World Food Safety Day 2026, ILRI's own senior scientist and epidemiologist Silvia Alonso will be speaking at the regional webinar: “Building Africa’s Food Safety Future: From Evidence to Action.” 🌍
Silvia will dive into practical, evidence-based solutions that protect vulnerable communities while supporting local food vendors and livestock value chains.The event is hosted by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), World Food Programme, AU-IBAR, and Canadian Council on Africa / Conseil Canadien pour l'Afrique
