Countries where we work
Around 1.3 billion people depend on livestock for their livelihoods, among which 600 million are poor farmers. VSF International and its members are working towards reducing poverty and and improving food security and nutrition by supporting small-scale farmers and rural households. The majority of our projects focus on animal health, livestock production and sustainable integrated farming practices. Healthy animals represent the key for a healthy life, better livelihood conditions, improved nutrition and increased well-being.
