Feeding strategies are a sustainable solution to addressing the challenge of feed deficit, improving livestock productivity, and enhancing household income.
In Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), the livelihoods of agro-pastoralist communities fully rely on a consistent supply of animal feeds.

Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive and well-structured initiatives to build resilience among pastoral communities.
