This mid-term evaluation assesses training efforts helping Georgian livestock farmers adapt to climate change.
Rising temperatures, drought and disease are severely impacting animal health and productivity. In response, over 700 farmers received practical training on managing heat/cold stress, water supply, disease prevention and climate-resilient livestock practices.
Post-training feedback showed respondents found the sessions useful and many are already applying new practices with observed benefits like improved milk yield and animal health.
The training was inclusive of women and ethnic minorities. A significant number of farmers have shared knowledge with others, effectively doubling outreach.
The report recommends scaling up and expanding to beekeeping in 2025.
