Livestock

EICM supports people in the livestock business, recognizing the significant role of animals like cows, sheep, goats, and chickens in strengthening families and communities, particularly in rural areas. These animals provide essential resources such as milk, eggs, wool, and meat, which support household nutrition and food security. For example, cows provide milk and meat, goats and sheep offer milk, wool, and meat, and chickens supply eggs and meat, enhancing sustenance.

Livestock also contribute to agriculture by producing manure, which acts as a natural fertilizer, improving soil fertility and promoting better crop yields. This sustainable farming practice helps farmers grow more food. Moreover, livestock serves as assets that can be traded or sold, providing families with income and financial security. By supporting both sustenance and economic stability, livestock play a key role in enhancing community resilience and contributing to long-term development.
