G-Feast application: Progress report 2025

The Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) is a participatory, action-oriented approach used to understand how farmers source and use livestock feed within their local contexts. By combining group discussions with individual farmer interviews and digital analysis, FEAST captures both practical knowledge and quantitative data. This process helps identify realistic, farmer-driven feed solutions that account for local resources, constraints, and production goals, improving the relevance, adoption, and sustainability of livestock feeding interventions.Significant changes were made to the application in 2025. A summary of which is listed in the technical report. An advanced android app and web dashboard created gives users a complete and integrated view of livestock feeding systems. The upgraded Android application enables field facilitators to collect, manage, and submit data more efficiently, even in low-connectivity settings, while maintaining consistency with the original FEAST methodology. Complementing this, the web-based dashboard provides structured data management, visualization, and reporting features that support analysis, validation, and evidence-based decision-making. Together, these enhancements strengthen FEAST’s usability, transparency, and scalability, enabling practitioners, researchers, and development partners to design more context-specific and impactful feed interventions.
