LEGS: Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards

El día de ayer tuve la bonita oportunidad de volver a mi maravillosa Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Medellín; presenté una ponencia en el II Congreso Internacional de Producción Animal Colombia COPACO sobre la Importancia de los Animales de Producción Dentro de la Ayuda Humanitaria. Sales con el corazón contento donde te encuentras con exprofesores, excompañeros de estudio y de trabajo, y obvio con amigos y desconocidos que quieren saber más de tú labor. Gracias COPACO por permitirme compartir otra forma de ejercer la Zootecnia.

🚀 Exciting News! LEGS: Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards and SEADS Standards are collaborating on a groundbreaking Joint Assessment Tool! This innovative resource will merge assessment checklists from both organizations into one accessible tool, simplifying the process of determining necessary support for mixed farming and agro-pastoral communities in crisis. 🛠️ The tool is currently being piloted in Malawi by Alistair Short from SEADS, alongside colleagues from Malawi's Ministry of Agriculture, Catholic Relief Services, and Concern Worldwide. This hands-on testing will ensure the tool meets the real needs of communities on the ground. The goal is to enhance early decision-making for local communities. Stay tuned for the official launch in the coming months! #AgroPastoralCommunities #CrisisResponse #JointAssessment #LEGS #SEADS #AgricultureSupport #Innovation
