Abstract

Demand for dairy products in sub-Saharan Africa, is expected to triple by 2050, while limited increase in supply is predicted. This poses significant food security risk to low income households. Understanding how the dairy food system operates is essential to identify mitigation measures to food insecurity impact. This study aims to determine the structure and functionality of Nairobi’s dairy system using a value chain mapping approach.

This is a publication arising from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
