ECLIPSE project closure and feedback webinar

The InterReg ECLIPSE project, launched in 2018 by CIRAD - UMR SELMET Réunion, aims to define, implement and evaluate adaptation strategies for ruminant livestock systems to environmental and socio-economic changes. It does so by providing and using innovative management tools, conducting research and experiments, and strengthening the exchange of skills within six countries or regions of the Indian Ocean (Australia, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Reunion, Union of Comoros).

A project closure and feedback webinar was held 8-11 February 2022, and presented the outputs of four of the actions implemented under the program:
