I hope everybody who knows Ethiopia know this. They are with 80% of the Ethiopian population who practice diverse agriculture (pastoralist or mixed crop livestock system). In big cities like Addis Ababa, I hope you can find a similar modern dairy system like the one in Israel. I argue Shimon Pres rather to work in changing the life of 80% of Ethiopia – this also requires change of the life style of the Ethiopian pastoralist in sustainable way, change in policies, etc. Where are the 4 or 40 million cows?

(maybe 4 million are dedicated to dairy, but I would have guessed more than one in ten...) Especially impressive given that there are >40 million cows in Ethiopia, not 4.
