Capstone assignment title: Adoption of Napier Grass for An Improved Security and Nutrition Outcome among Pastoralists in Nigeria
Capstone assignment abstract: Fulani pastoralists in Nigeria are known to migrate from arid regions as a result of seasonality, drought, desertification and climate change (in search of water and pasture for cattle) to other areas where they often reportedly feed on arable crop farms, thus resulting in conflicts. Affordable quality fodder all year round is a great challenge and this predisposes the Fulani pastoralists into serious conflict situations with farmers; whilst this is now posing serious security threats and far-reaching consequences on the nation at large. Pastoralists believe that local political leaders have tended to favour sedentary farmers, whose votes they crave, over itinerant herders, who may not be around at election time. Consequently, herders feel increasingly marginalised and are largely distrustful of local political leaders as conflict mediators. The researcher decided to take a slight turn from status-quo ante, by introducing the cultivation of Napier grass and its processing into silage and hay, in order to ensure the availability of forage and feed for all year round use, with the aim that this could serve as permanent solution to the volatile conflicts.
