Quick update

As I have mentioned earlier that my work is based on targeting climate-resilient feeds and forages for the smallholder mixed farming system of East Africa. To achieve this, I am going to map feed constraints (feed constraints which hamper livestock productivity) and adoption factors (factors influencing the adoption or uptake of climate-resilient feeds and forages by smallholder farmers). Mapping the feed constraints and adoption factors will produce maps which will show changes in forage production under current and future climate conditions. Thereafter, areas which will show vulnerability to current and future climate conditions will be areas of interest. With this being said,today I am in CIAT where I will be doing the 'GIS mapping' part of my project. I will be working hand in hand with Dr. An Notenbaert, John Mutua and Tyler Breen. I am so grateful to CIAT for hosting me for the coming few days.
