Why do livestock feeds matter so much?

They generate:
More milk, meat & better nutrition

Food is gender, equality, nutrition & livelihood. It should not be a privilege.

We must ensure access to safe, nutritious food for people in poor countries to meet 2030 Agenda on zero hunger, health & no poverty #whylivestockmatter #N4G2021 #Nutrition4All
