[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

Clear evidence from the January Disease Awareness meetng shows that smallholder farmers hve an immense desire to learn hw to improve animal health. Our convictions tht at e centre of sustainable beef prodn for our region is e smallholder farmer, are not misplaced @Makera_Cattle

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

Partnerships for sustainable beef production in the region, will strengthen our quest to enhance the capacity of the smallholder farmers to improve income and livelihoods through sustainable beef production @Makera_Cattle @Solidaridad_SAF @GRSBeef

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

We could not agree more with this, it will take all hands on deck as @Makera_Cattle mentioned - "more interaction between, farmer, government and private sector needed" @Solidaridad_SAF

[International Fund for Agricultural Development @IFAD]

Demand for #livestock products is expected to more than double during the next 20 years. This offers an immense opportunity for a profitable and sustainable increase in livestock production by #smallholders.

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

The SADC Livestock Unit (LU) https://t.co/eRZN3EGR8t - shows that 75% of livestock is with the smallholder farmer and raised in the traditional way for @Solidaridad_SAF @Makera_Cattle @RuzivoTrust & others the endeavor is to transform that 75% through sustainable business models

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

Still on the Question of how to transform the smallholder farmer with regards to cattle production in mind, here are some interesting facts about the Regional Beef Sector @Makera_Cattle @Solidaridad_SAF @GRSBeef there is so much potential and room for growth.

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

Fact: Most cattle in this region are held among the smallholder farmers. How do we in a sustainable way help the smallholder farmer to turn his cattle into a business? One of the many questions that we seek to deal with as a regional platform @Solidaridad_SAF @Makera_Cattle

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

@Makera_Cattle this will be interesting if we can look at the this livelihoods situation with regards to livestock; through something like this

[Disasters Charter @DisastersChart]

We have our first maps of #Zimbabwe after #CycloneIdai: https://t.co/BtqYVEFJdr
These maps provide a damage assessment of the Chimanimani area, using #Pleiades imagery to highlight areas of flooding and landslides.

@DrMutanga @MaminiminiObert @sansoleopinion @JosephKamuzhan1 @TafadzwaMamvura @bvumie Morning all. I know we are all concentrating on the human tragedy of cyclone idai, but do we have any vets out there in the affected areas. What are the effects on livestock. This question relates to Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi. @SARRSBeef

[SARRSBeef @SARRSBeef]

This is a pertinent issue, as this will have a devastating impact on livelihoods post the #CycloneIdai ; part of any recovery plans will need to consider the livelihoods.

"I'm a science optimist," says NIAA speaker Jack Bobo, VP, @Intrexon,
"I am convinced that science can solve current and future challenges, but I think the biggest challenge of agricultural science and technology is communicating its story to consumers." https://t.co/AxfKuIBVyB
