2.29% of the world’s land area supports 10.7% of the world’s livestock. Small farmers rely heavily on livestock as an additional source of income and a safety net during times of climate-induced crop failures. Most of these livestock keepers also lie in drought-prone geographies with unpredictable rainfall and heat wave incidences. Farmers need access to resilient input and value-add innovations and appropriate tech at the farm-level that could help them improve their cost per yield alongside alleviating losses and adapting to climate uncertainties. Sustainable Energy-Led Climate Action Program, SELCAP, is fulfilling the needs of these livestock farmers through its Decentralised Renewable Energy solutions.
