Get involved with Feedipedia
Feedipedia is a long-term project. While AFZ, INRA, CIRAD, and FAO currently support the project, additional resources are needed. There are many ways you can support the Feedipedia project:
Financial Contributions
Additional resources are needed by AFZ to manage the website. Your support could help the future development of the datasheets, as well as the maintenance of the website by AFZ.
Donations:
Institutions and organizations engaged in the feed industry or active in related sectors that wish to support the project and become project partners are invited to donate to the project. The minimum institutional financial contribution is € 15,000 per year. The provision of this type of support is subject to certain terms and conditions, and you should contact us for additional information on the applicable conditions.
Individual donations
The support of individuals is also very important to AFZ's work on Feedipedia. You can make individual donations by clicking on the PayPal button below. Please note that by making a donation, you are not becoming a partner of any of the project leader organizations.
