“This would go a long way in reducing the age-long conflicts between livestock and crop farmers to the barest minimum.

“Gamba grass and andropogon seeds are simple to grow and good food supplement for animals which would, over time, reduce the frequency of movement of livestock from one area to another in search of pasture,” she further explained.

“The farmers should always maintain good husbandry and practice climate smart livestock agriculture production” she said.
