Join us at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Nairobi to explore how research and partnerships are transforming livestock systems in developing countries to make them more climate-smart. Discover practical solutions that are boosting resilience, productivity, while addressing climate and environmental challenges.
During your visit, you’ll take a guided tour of the Mazingira* Centre, where some of Africa's most cutting-edge research tools and methods are being used to measure greenhouse gas emissions from livestock systems. You’ll engage with ILRI scientists to learn how farmer-led innovations are driving adaptation, how livestock insurance is enhancing resilience for pastoralists, and how tailored climate and agricultural advisories are supporting decision-making for smallholder producers across the continent. Additionally, learn about ILRI’s role in scaling these innovations and ensuring adaptation efforts benefit entire communities, including women, youth and marginalized groups.
This is a unique opportunity to witness how science and collaboration are creating sustainable pathways for livestock production that support livelihoods, food security, and environmental stewardship in a changing climate.
*Mazingira is Swahili for ‘environment.’
