Ekiti State Government has commenced training livestock farmers from the 16 local council areas of the state on the production of pastures for cattle to curb farmers-herders’ clashes.
The government said pasture business had the potential to provide sustainable jobs for unemployed youths in areas of establishment, zero grazing, hay and silage making, preservation and storage of hay, among others.
The Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Ebenezer Boluwade, spoke yesterday at a training on business models for pasture development, organised by the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) in Ado-Ekiti.
