About Us

Livestock for Social Good Foundation, aka MoreMeatMoreMilk Initiative, is a Non-profit organization contributing towards sustainable livestock transformation in Nigeria and West Africa. LSG Foundation was born out of a strong passion for ecological friendly livestock agricultural practices. 

We work with livestock stakeholders in adopting practices that minimize the industry’s ecological footprint, ensure animal welfare, boost rural-urban livelihood and ensure food sovereignty, by implementing regenerative agriculture techniques, deploying technologies, optimizing resource efficiency, advocacy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We work to sustain rural livelihood and increase poor yield and quality of Animal Sourced Food (ASF) in Africa. 

We strive to accomplish our mission by deploying relevant technologies, implementing impactful food system projects, advocacies, media, and supporting livestock farmers and stakeholders in all possible ways.

Our Mission:

We work with livestock stakeholders in adopting practices that minimize the industry’s ecological footprint, ensure animal welfare, boost rural-urban livelihood and ensure food sovereignty, by implementing regenerative agriculture techniques, deploying technologies, optimizing resource efficiency, advocacy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Goals:

To

➢ Encourage ecological friendly livestock agricultural practices

➢ Proliferate better and affordable Animal Sourced Food (ASF)

➢ Boost rural-urban livelihood through livestock by creating more base-of-pyramid (BoP) businesses across livestock value chain to enhance gender equality and support vulnerable groups.

➢ Support livestock farmers, most especially smallholders, with relevant technologies and encourage young people and the vulnerable in livestock farming in its simplest form

➢ Bridge the gap between policy makers, research institutions (especially academic institutions) and practicing livestock farmers and the farming business.

➢ Advocate and engage all livestock value chain actors to prioritize animal welfare.

Our Work and the SDGs

SDGs Goal 1 – No poverty:

Many rural poor rely on livestock
Livestock provide 3 major pathways out of poverty (1) Securing assets (2) Improving productivity and (3) increasing market participation

SDGs Goal 2 – Zero Hunger

Food (energy and high value protein)
Traction and fertilizer for crop production
Income

SDGs Goal 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing

Essential Micronutrients, especially for children, women and the elderly
Majority of animal diseases could cause human pandemics

SDGs Goal 4 – Quality Education

A healthy diet is key to learning capacities (e.g school milk programs)
Livestock provides income which supports education

SDGs Goal 5 – Gender equality

Majority of poor livestock keepers are women, especially with small ruminants and poultry
Women have less access to resources (land and capital)

SDGs Goal 8 – Decent work and economic growth

40% of agricultural GDP is provided by livestock

SDGs Goal 10 – Reduced inequalities

Livestock are a source of income, create employment opportunities and provide market participation to poor rural households
