Dairy chains are largely controlled by the main agrifood giants. However, they also involve more than 120 million small farms worldwide. Is the current boom in agroindustry a threat to the long-term future of these smallholders, or might it be a development opportunity? How can we arbitrate between the economic, environmental and social impacts of current policies? 热博体育 is working with local stakeholders to assess the sustainability of the current changes in the sector. Along with its partners, it has research and development programmes and platforms in partnership for research and training that develop innovations aimed at optimizing the interactions between livestock production and the environment.

Atlases and events

Atlas des dynamiques observées dans le bassin de collecte de la Laiterie du Berger. Dakar

Until recently, in West Africa, the livestock sector had been largely overlooked in the industrialization of dairy value chains. Large dairies were set up in capital cities, without any major investment in local milk collection and primarily using imported milk powders. However, alongside these large dairies, there are often mire modest firms working with local milk.
