Over the last decade, several initiatives have focused
on supporting youth employment in the African dairy
sector. Some with success, some without. What can we
learn from these initiatives? What were the challenges
encountered? What have been successful strategies to
increase youth involvement in the dairy sector? Working
with youth groups, mainstr...
Ethiopia offers huge opportunities for dairy sector development. With a growing economy and an increasing number of urban middle class consumers, demand for dairy products is expected to rise, making the dairy sector an interesting sector for investors and developers. This practice brief examines the opportunities and challenges for dairy productio...

Wageningen UR probeert boeren in ontwikkelingslanden ervan te overtuigen meer te doen met de mest van hun vee. Dat kan bijdragen aan de energievoorziening, de conditie van de bodem en vermindering van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen. In Vietnam worden de eerste resultaten geboekt.
The Dutch government aims to link her support to international multi-stakeholder platforms, like the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, to the needs of Dutch companies that are active in animal production in developing countries. This should contribute to the policy goals for realising food security and sustainable animal production systems w...
The Livestock and Manure Management Component (LMMC) of the CCAC Agriculture Initiative to reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) supports the adoption of integrated manure management practices across the globe by increasing knowledge and awareness, removing barriers to action and enhancing practice change.
Livestock play an important role...
Innovations in the agri-food sector are needed to create a sustainable food supply. Sustainable food supply requires unexpectedly that densely populated regions remain food producers. A Dutch innovation program has aimed at showing the way forward through creating a number of practice and scientific projects. Generic lessons from the scientific pro...
Many agricultural entrepreneurs are confronted by the continuing spread of urbanisation on the one hand and the growing needs of consumers for sustainably produced, high-quality food on the other. How best can the agricultural entrepreneur respond to this – and turn these threats into an opportunity? The book 'Sustainable Agricultural Entrepreneurs...
Charts new territory for innovation and sustainable development Offers practical guidelines from a wealth of action experiments Combines insights from a range of scientific disciplines to support innovation The TransForum Model: Transforming Agro-innovation Toward Sustainable Development presents new insights on how to use innovation for the comple...
Agriculture has seen a tremendous development in both production and productivity growth during the last decades. A continuous
innovation effort was at the heart of these positive developments. And with that growth, the negative effects on the physical
and social environment have also become apparent. For the coming decades the world population wil...
In this final chapter we propose the TransForum model. The analyses based on the five motivating assumptions lead to the conclusion
that they indeed have a positive impact on innovation initiatives that aim to improve the 3P performance, or in other words,
form a next step on the road toward sustainable development. For that reason we propose them...

The Livestock and Manure Management Component (LMMC) of the CCAC Agriculture Initiative has been implemented by Wageningen Livestock Research from June 2014 until June 2016.
The primary objectives of the Livestock and Manure Management Component (LMMC) were:
to integrate manure management practices into livestock systems,
to improve existing practices to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and other harmful emissions to the environment,
to capture methane as an energy source, and to optimize nutrient utilization for crop production by managing and removing barriers to action with a view toward enhancing food security and sustainable development.
