Welcome to the GASL innovation page
We are excited to introduce a new section on our website dedicated to documenting and sharing evidence around innovative solutions in the field of sustainability. This repository will serve as an evolving archive, updated whenever new evidence is shared by researchers and stakeholders.
The aim of this page is to spark conversation and share ideas. Through this initiative, we invite our community to participate via our GASL LinkedIn Group or email to [email protected] by sharing their perspectives, whether in support of or against featured innovations. Contributions should address strengths, benefits, weaknesses, and threats across all domains of sustainability.
Each news entry in the repository will link to the GASL post for open comments and feedback. Our aim is to foster transparent discussion and collective evaluation. Please note that the inclusion of innovations in this section does not imply formal approval or endorsement by FAO or GASL.

Browse-aid for increased livestock resilience and food security in times of droughts
05/03/2026
Across Africa’s drylands, drought is not only a climatic event, it is also a biological bottleneck. When grasses disappear from rangelands, the only remaining green biomass often consists of trees and shrubs. Yet livestock rarely consume these browse species, even when feed scarcity becomes critical. This phenomenon (abundance without accessibility) has long constrained livestock productivity and survival in drought-prone systems.
