The warming due to climate change affects the quantity and quality of milk in several livestock systems. Due to the importance of dairy livestock for dairy women cooperatives in West Africa, Montcho’s research focused on the simulation of the best strategies required by dairy women cooperatives to address climate change based on their current strategies for milk production and their profit improvement. The strategies Dr Montcho identified are being applied currently to improve milk production and storage in grassroots cooperatives across West Africa.
