Bukar Usman (D.V.M., M.V.S.c)‘s insight:
Project description: The world’s drylands comprise 41% of the earth’s surface and are home to 2.5 billion people – and the majority of the world’s poor. Dry area’s fragile ecosystems are at great risk of drought, water depletion and natural resource degradation and desertification thereby putting vulnerable communities at significant risk of food insecurity and conflict over diminishing resources of land and water. This report in the Sahel region of Northern Nigeria will examine how holistic grassland management can be augmented with indigenous local knowledge and shared using mobile technology and its social, economic and cultural impact on local communities as a means to reduce conflict between pastoralists and small farmers.
