Abstract

Despite governments’ efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa to solve land use crisis, farmer-grazier conflicts persist in localities where grazing is practiced. This paper aims at assessing farmer-grazier conflict resolutions in the Dairy Districts of Bui Division (DDBD) by the Tadu Dairy Cooperative Society (TDCS). A mixed research approach was used in this study; primary data was acquired via questionnaires, interview guides, and direct and indirect observations. It was realized that the cooperative crossbreed cattle of smallholders by way of artificial insemination (88%) thereby improving the variety and yield of cattle reared. Farmers’ income has been boosted (94%). Rural women have been encouraged/integrated into the rearing of high-yielding new breeds (68%). The cooperative has been training graziers on the new practice of stall-feeding; and keeps smallholders’ animals on its ranch (79.3%). Because of all these, the quest for more grazing land that usually caused conflicts between farmers and graziers has reduced. Nevertheless, governments should encourage the creation of dairy cooperatives in areas where cattle are reared to enhance the resolution of farmer-grazier conflicts that have often retarded sustainable development within communities due to loss of property and long-lasting enmity.
