Body
ILCA's overall aim is to improve human welfare and food supplies in Africa. Increased livestock production provides the cash income so essential for increases in food grain production in a part of the world where adequate credit mechanisms are rarely available. ILCA's approach, to increase farm income through low cost increases in livestock production, is seen as the most cost-effective means of reversing the current decline in food availability in Africa.
