Fodder hedges, Fodder grasses and animal nutrition in Southern and Central Ethiopia

Inter Aide has developed an effective way to address the issue of erosion in the mountainous areas of Wolayta, Kembatta and Hadiya Zones (in the south of Ethiopia), by combining soil and water conservation structures with the production of fodder grass. Integrating productive and perennial fodder grasses on soil and water anti-erosive structures is particularly interesting in these mixed cattle-cropping systems: these structures become productive, providing precious fodder that the farmers can either use for their own cattle, or resell.
