Changing The Narrative About Livestock And Climate Change: Most Climate Change Policy Actors Are Influenced by the Anti-Livestock Rhetoric of Some Media Commentators and Activists. Cows and Cars Are Not the Same in Climate Change pastres.org/2023/12/12/cha…
Also check out our paper using #KAZNET data to show the link between drought and food security: link.springer.com/article/10.100….
Citizen volunteers across Kenya's drylands are sharing vital data on market prices, livestock quality, and traded volumes via the digital #KAZNET platform, an increasingly crucial tool for local communities. Read about these vital contributors: ilri.org/news/beyond-sm…
At @ILRI, we are using #citizenscience 4 #realtime monitoring of shocks & resilience in #drylands. #KAZNET disseminates crowdsourced markets and rangelands info to pastoralists. Read more: ilri.org/news/beyond-sm…. @SPARC_Ideas @jameel_observ @CGIAR @CGIARAfrica @rafiki80
Invasive plant species can give the false impression of healthy undergrowth. ILRI researchers show using artificial intelligence can help identify such species and make satellite assessments for index-based livestock insurance (#IBLI) more accurate. ilri.org/news/can-artif…
#Edutainment does more than entertain. It shapes our understanding of the world & sparks change – and even the use of #FinancialServices. Compelling characters in engaging stories can increase account ownership, savings & financial planning. Read: cgap.pub/4h7G7Tw
Understanding the greenhouse gas emissions linked to #livestock production can unlock #ClimateFinance4Livestock 🐄🐑 Learn why this matters in @LD4D_community's brief ‘Estimating Livestock Emissions to Unlock Climate Financing’ 👇 edin.ac/3XITGBj #WhyLivestockMatter
Thank you @OluyedeAjayi & @GCAdaptation for working with @CGIAR in scaling CGIAR's innovations for climate adaptation. We at @ILRI are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with GCA in producing an inventory of adaptation planning tools & frameworks.
It was really nice hearing Prof. Verkooijen emphasize @GCA's commitment to working with @CGIAR in climate change adaptation @ILRI @OluyedeAjayi @awhitbr

Monitoring forage conditions and supporting market development for livestock feed are important to address adverse impacts of #drought in the horn of Africa doi.org/10.1007/s12571…
HOP: We proxy for drought using pasture conditions and use weekly crowdsourced data to document a significant negative impact on household food security. We show that the negative relationship is due to impacts on livestock productivity, food prices, and the coping strategies.
