Activities
Each country involved with NLF is facing their own challenges NLF works to safeguard, expand and spread knowledge about healthy animals based on what the natural environment has to offer, by:
- Building on a variety of knowledge systems in the world
- Combining grass-root expertise, especially from farmers & veterinarians – with scientific backup
- Multi country program, combining expertise from countries with a variety of farming systems, learning from each other’s mistakes and success
- Piloting solutions based on the NLF 5-layered strategy
NLF core activities are action research, exchange of best practices and training. The combination of bottom-up experimentation and peer to peer exchange is additional to existing initiatives in this field. This opens up opportunities that more conventional programs fail to unlock. And provides opportunity for increased farm income, better child nutrition, improved food quality and biodiversity.
Programs adapted to country priorities, with:
- Training for farmers and veterinarians (live and e-learning)
- Exchange visits of best practices and peer- to peer learning
- Pilots for local cattle health challenges on NLF 5-layer strategy
- Technical support to dairy programs
- Networking activities
- Scientific and popular publications
- MSc and PhD student research
Funding:
