Tunisian Forage Genetic Resources

Genetic Resource Conservation: We are committed to preserving the unique and diverse genetic resources of African forage plants. Our efforts ensure that these vital plant varieties are maintained for future generations and are available for research and development.

Research and Development: Our team of experts works tirelessly to develop and improve forage varieties that are resilient to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, pests, and diseases. Through cutting-edge research, we aim to enhance forage quality, yield, and adaptability.

Sustainable Agriculture: By focusing on the genetic improvement of forage crops, we support sustainable agricultural practices that contribute to the health of ecosystems and the well-being of rural communities. Our work helps to increase the productivity and sustainability of livestock farming across Africa.

Capacity Building: We provide training and resources to local farmers, researchers, and agricultural professionals to empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to make the most of forage genetic resources.

Why Forage Genetic Resources Matter

Forage plants are crucial for livestock nutrition, soil fertility, and environmental sustainability. By optimizing these plants through genetic advancements, we address critical issues such as:

• Drought and salt stress Resilience: Developing forage varieties that can withstand water stress, salt stress ensuring reliable feed supplies even in challenging climatic conditions.
• Nutritional Quality: Enhancing the nutritional value of forage crops to improve livestock health and productivity.
• Soil Health: Using forage plants to improve soil structure and fertility, which benefits overall farm productivity.
