Les vétérinaires se mobilisent pour aider les populations vivant dans les régions les plus pauvres du monde. Dans beaucoup de pays, le bétail est une source essentielle de nourriture de qualité. Et pourtant, la médecine vétérinaire est souvent inexistante, si bien que le danger d'épidémie n'est jamais très loin. Là-bas, si le troupeau est malade, c'est le village qui meurt. Voilà pourquoi l'aide médicale vétérinaire sur le terrain est une nécessité.

Depuis mars 2007, notre ONG en collaboration avec VSF France, SIVTRo-VSF-Italia et VETAID, mettent en place un projet d'éducation au développement (DEP) financé par la Commission Européenne. Programmé pour trois ans, ce projet vise à informer et sensibiliser les publiques étudiants (agronomes et vétérinaires), politiques et agricoles (les professionnels de l'agriculture) sur la problématique de l'agriculture paysanne dans une optique de relation Nord Sud en se nourrissant de l'expérience de VSF sur la terrain.
