Techfit is a discussion support tool that was introduced at a meeting to prioritize feed technologies for the Ethiopian Livestock Feed Project. The tool matches key context attributes like land availability and labor with technology attributes. It uses a scoring system to filter technologies and provide a list of promising interventions. The goal is to help understand why commonly used feed options often don't work and identify better feed solutions.
