Celebrating ILRI’s 50 years of milestones and launching the new organizational strategy

With its new strategy 2024–30, ILRI outlines a bold path for research, partnerships, and engagement to benefit over 300 million people in the Global South through sustainable livestock solutions addressing the climate crisis.
