  1. MilkITMilkIT Supervision Mission, Almora, Dec 3-6 2013 Enhancing dairy-based livelihoods in India and Tanzania through feed innovation and value chain development approaches

  2. Fodder Adoption Project 2007-2010

  3. What is planned for MilkIT? • Building on FAP • Further experimentation with innovation approaches • Value chain analysis and action research • Development of tools for feed and market assessment

  4. Objective • To contribute to improved dairy-supported livelihoods in India and Tanzania via intensification of smallholder production focusing on feed enhancement using innovation and value chain approaches.

  5. Structure • Budget: 1 million (for 2 countries for 3 years) • Duration: 3 years • Implementation • Co-ordination: ILRI (Alan Duncan) • India research: ILRI (Nils Teufel and team: Thanammal Ravichandran (ILRI), Sonali Bisht, Ghirish C Pant, Bhupendra Singh Rana, Institute of Himalayan Environmental Research and Education (INHERE), Masi (Uttarakhand, India), MukulPrakash, Atul Shah, KuldeepThapiyal, Central Himalayan Rural Action Group (CHIRAG), Simial (Uttarakhand, India) • Tanzania research: CIAT (Brigitte Maass and team; Fred Wassena (CIAT), Prof Germana Laswai and Prof E.A. Kimambo: Sokoine University of Agriculture, Department of Animal Science and Production, Morogoro, Tanzania, Dr Julius Bwire and Mr Walter Mangesho: Tanzania Livestock Research Institute – Tanga-Centre, Tanga, Tanzania • Additional inputs • on feeds: Ben Lukuyu, Michael Blummel • on Tz dairy scene and wider issues: Amos Omore

  6. Links to IFAD investments • In Tanzania • Agricultural Services Support Programme (2007-2014) • Rural Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Support Programme (2007 – 2014) • In India • Integrated Livelihoods Support Project, Uttarakhand (just started)

  7. Objectives • Institutional strengthening: To strengthen use of value chain and innovation approaches among dairy stakeholders to improve feeding strategies for dairy cows. • Productivity enhancement: To develop options for improved feeding strategies leading to yield enhancement with potential income benefits. • Knowledge sharing: To strengthen knowledge sharing mechanisms on feed development strategies at local, regional and international levels

  8. Links to other initiatives • More milk, meat and fish, for and by the poor (Livestock and Fish; CRP 3.7) • More milk, for and by the poor (Irish Aid Tz) • EADD2 (Southern Highlands of Tz) • ELKS India (Tata)

  9. Key elements • Tools • Innovation platforms • Value chain assessments

  10. Some examples of tools Tool for Feed Technology Screening and Prioritisation (Techfit)

  11. Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST)

  12. Value chain assessment Inputs & services Production Processing Marketing Consumers

  13. Innovation platforms as spaces for change and transformation in rural communities

  14. Conventional approach to livestock research Technologies

  15. Innovation Systems Approach traders farmers processors researchers

  16. Input supplier Collector Processor Conventional approach: research to farmer Research Research Extension Extension Rural farmer Consumer Innovation Systems Approach: research inside Coop

  17. Innovation platforms tend to follow a seven-step cycle From Homann-Tui et al (2013) Innovation Platform Brief 1: What are Innovation Platforms?
