IMPRESSIVE RESEARCH TO FEED THE WORLD AT ILRI’S KAPITI PLAINS STATION I have today spent most of the day at The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)@ILRI Kapiti Plains research station.
ILRI is an international organization and part of the solution to food security in the world. The research they undertake is vital in improving animal stock and testing vaccines essential for the protection of both human and animal lives.
I am glad that their only field research station is located in Kenya and at that it is in Machakos County. I was warmly received by ILRI’s Director General H.E Jimmy Smith and his enthusiastic and able team.
We were informed of the ongoing research and breakthroughs by ILRI and what the future holds for the supply of adequate food to feed the growing human population. I was impressed by their fodder and breeding programs and the Boran Cattle and Sheep they have at the ranch.
They also have goats and sturdy-looking camels. We discussed environmental matters and I even visited their field station that measures greenhouse emissions.
