Sustainable Fodder Production and Low Methane Livestock Development Program-for-Results

About this project

The proposed project would have the following three components:Component 1: Sustainable management of grasslands. The component aims to improve the grassland sector resilience and adaptation to climate change through: (i) strengthening grasslands capacity for carbon sequestration, maintain and improve existing carbon stocks, boost biodiversity dependent on grassland ecosystem, and contribute towards the global public goods (GPGs) and (ii) enhancing the quality and net primary productivity (NPP) of grasslands as a livestock feed base, helping to improve value chain participants access to sustainable and organic food markets. The project will finance infrastructure for grassland improvement, as we as training, demonstrations and extension to support introduction of carbon-capture and carbon-retention grassland management technologies and practices. The specific sites for grassland interventions would be selected during the project preparation using the criteria such as level of degradation, as well as significance for livestock grazing, potential to enhance carbon stock, support to livelihoods of farmers and herders, and improved livestock quality and health. Component 2: Strengthening sustainability and emission reductions in the livestock value chains.Sub-component 2.1: Promoting low emission and resilient livestock production. This Sub-component would support the province's efforts to promote the overall greening of the main livestock value chains being developed in the dif…
