Ethiopia has participated in the EthiopiaGrass project to identify multipurpose grass-legume forage mixtures that offer both nutritional benefits for livestock and deliver environmental benefits.

Perennial forage crops improve soil quality and sequester carbon, provide feed for the animals, and can additionally bring extra income for farmers through sale of surplus forage.

Ethiopia can tap into potential of its livestock and agriculture sectors.

Cultivating forages can help reduce soil erosion and, with increased input of organic matter, it can improve soil quality over time.

The next step is to scale this, and identify potential opportunities and challenges, the NIBIO-researcher says.
