    By 2050 the world will need to feed an additional 2 billion people and will require 70 per cent more meat and milk. The increasing future demand for livestock products, driven by increases in income, population and urbanization will impose a huge demand on feed resources. Sustainability of feed production systems is being challenged due to biophysical factors such as land, soil and water scarcity, food-fuel-feed competition, on-going global warming and frequent and drastic climatic vagaries, alo ng with increased competition for arable land and non-renewable resources such as fossil carbon-sources, water and phosphorus. A key to sustainable livestock development is efficient use of available feed resources including reduction in wastage, and enlargement of the feed resource base through a quest for novel feed resources, particularly those not competing with human food.

One of the priorities of this BSF project is to counter the lack of seeds for farmers through the dissemination of locally adapted biotic- and abiotic-resistant targeted varieties. The activities of the project have been developed based on the needs, challenges and preferences of the target population for the cultivation, conservation and utilization of the targeted crops, all of which were id entified through a baseline survey conducted beforehand.
