dc.descriptionMore than 40 percent of the population in the Horn of Africa ( H oA ) is undernourished and millions are food insecure. Those suffering most from food insecurity are subsistence farmers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists whose livelihoods largely depend on agriculture and animal production. Counting between 15 to 20 million people in the HoA, pastoralist communities live mainly in arid and semi-arid low lands and particularly suffer from droughts, as not only do they s ee their food consumption reduced, they also risk to loose their assets. With limited food and water availability, animals produce less milk, are more prone to diseases and their mortality incidence increases.
