Every year, an estimated 1.05 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally, almost one-fifth of all food available to consumers. Another estimated 13% of food is lost after harvest and before reaching retail. Behind every kilogram of food lost or wasted are the land, water, energy, labour and resources used to produce, store, transport and market it.

Today, we mark the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste 2026, under the theme “The Transformative Potential of Reducing Food Loss and Waste.” This year’s observance reminds us that reducing food loss and waste is not simply about throwing away less. It is about building more efficient, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems.

From better storage and transportation to improved processing, market systems, innovation and more informed consumption, every stage of the food supply chain presents an opportunity to prevent food loss and waste.

The story of our food should not end in the bin. Let’s make every harvest count.

Yesterday, 113 cattle received an important layer of protection against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).

At the Paikon-Kore Grazing Reserve in Abuja, we carried out the first batch of our FMD vaccination campaign under Ikore’s Livestock Health Plan (LHP) Initiative.

The LHP aims to make vaccination services more affordable and accessible to pastoral farmers on a routine basis. Through flexible payment options, including instalment and in-kind payments, the initiative explores practical ways to reduce barriers to regular livestock vaccination.

Together with our partners, CBi Innovations Limited and M.C.I Sante Animale, we are taking practical steps towards increasing vaccination uptake among livestock farmers in Nigeria.

What does better access to preventive animal healthcare look like for livestock farmers in Nigeria? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

The competition is over. But before they left, 11 veterinary students made a commitment.

Last week, at the VITAL2 Project National Schools’ Competition, contestants signed the Ruminant Vaccination Pledge. With every signature, they committed to promoting vaccination, preventing livestock diseases, and improving animal health in Nigeria.

For these future veterinarians, the pledge is more than a moment. It is a commitment to the animals, farmers and communities they will serve.

One pledge. One shared commitment. A healthier future for Nigeria’s livestock. These students have made their pledge. What would YOU pledge to do to improve ruminant vaccination in Nigeria?

The National Schools’ Competition on Ruminant Vaccines and Vaccination in Nigeria brought together some of the brightest veterinary students from across the country for a day of learning, competition and celebration.

The questions were tough. The competition was intense. The knowledge on display was impressive! From the opening round to the final questions, our contestants gave it their all and reminded us why building the knowledge and skills of future veterinary professionals matters.

👏 Congratulations to all our finalists, and a special shout-out to our winners!
