Dry seasons challenge pastoralists with scarce grazing and poor livestock health. Hay-bale storage ensures nourished animals, protects livelihoods, and prevents overgrazing. SAT empowers communities to adopt sustainable practices for resilience. #Pastoralism #SustainablePractices

With representative panel data frm five countries we show that animal-sourced foods (ASF) help improve child nutrition in Africa. Reduction of ASF is important where consumption is high, but we need to differentiate between rich & poor. Congrats, Makaiko G. Khonje doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
