Day3 of #SustainableLivestock conference @FAOLivestock - a great presentation by Cathy Watson @TheLEGSProject on disaster resilience. Question from @TheBrooke - how can we get more governments to include livestock in DRM plans? From droughts to floods animals help rebuild lives. – at Rome, Lazio

What is next for minimum #humanitarian standards?
@SpherePro ED William Anderson kicking off the conversation with the observation that “it is easy to get away with not being #accountable to the least powerful.”
That's why we need minimum #standards that can be #verified.

SEADS Standards for #crops in crises are easy to use because they are similar to other #HSP standards.
Standards: short qualitative statements
Key actions: practical steps to attain the standard
Guidance notes: info to support the key actions
