Inspired by existing regional platforms including the European Jersey Forum and Latin America Jersey Forum, the AJF is intended to serve a dual purpose. Firstly, to provide educational and promotional resources for various audiences (including farmers, researchers and policy-makers) related to the Jersey breed, and dairy development more broadly, throughout Africa and the tropics in general. Secondly, to bring together national Jersey breed associations as they begin to emerge in the region.
We aim to promote the Jersey breed and provide educational and scientific resources relating both to the commercial benefits of Jerseys as well as the role of the breed, and of dairying more broadly, in supporting economic and social development in Africa.
The launch of the AJF and development of the AJF website is an initiative led by the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society (RJA&HS) and generously funded by Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA). In recent years, JOA has been supporting the RJAHS to implement individual country projects in dairy with a Jersey breed focus (see below), and in 2019 we jointly launched the AJF to promote regional cooperation and coordination in our efforts and those of other donors and actors in the Jersey breed led elements of the African dairy sector. We have a joint long-term vision of promoting awareness of and research into the Jersey breed as a solution to the challenges of increasing African dairy profitability and productivity in a sustainable manner.
This AJF website is a platform for sharing a variety of content including scientific articles and reports, news and insights. Our intention is that, over time, the forum will develop an extensive library of resources and a network of users throughout the region, promoting the Jersey breed and its benefits and providing useful information to farmers and others involved in nascent dairy industries. We encourage you to visit the AJF website through accessing the ‘View Website’ link.
