The aim of the project is to build on the long-term activities of the Czech development agency in the geographical and thematic field. The implementation of this project builds on the 2014-2018 project Ensuring Sustainable and Stable Production of Feed for Dairy Cattle of Small Farmers. The high amount of farm animals in South Province, Zambia, and the related production of milk and meat represents the main source of livelihood for local farmers. The project sets out to solve challenges that the local farmers are currently facing, such as hygiene conditions of animal breeding or the amount of feed production which is especially inadequate during the drought seasons. The drought season is prolonged due to climate changes and the farmers have to adjust to such obstacles. The project offers practical and theoretical training on topics such as nutritional composition of feed, production of silage feed, community-planned grazing, rehabilitation of degraded soil and regeneration of natural sources (especially forests and water sources).

Milk producers work in cooperatives as these ensure them regular sales and incomes. The project thus also focuses on increasing capacities of farmers and cooperatives in financial fields or their democratic management, farm planning, connection to local markets, and surplus customers. Silage-pastoral systems as such are combination of tree and bush cultivation with pasture for farm animals. These agroforestry systems primarily serve to increase the stability of animal production and bring considerable cultural, social and environmental benefits.
