Ruminant Animal rearing - the foundation to combat climate change

The reality of climate change isn't really a debate anymore, how much of it we believe could differ, and the extent to its impact differs.

For example, Northern Nigeria suffers from desertification and those in the Southern coastal line have coastal encroachment.
In the past I took time to explain how the waste products of animals especially cows are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emission (GHG)#ZeroHunger

... and how we can resolve this using the feed.
There is still the issue of desertification, this today is our major issue in Nigeria and must be tackled quickly. The herdsmen can be at the forefront of this battle, the herds (animals) are the weapon.

You see the grasslands protects and holds the soil in place, retain water, store carbon and feed us. Plant, animal and soil develop together to ensure birth, growth, death and decay. Bush burning robs the soil of the process of decay and increases atmospheric Carbon.

In areas that are deserts today, it is the perfect location for our ranches as we can in one swoop:

Restore the lands
Create jobs
Combat climate change
Give basic amenities to forgotten communities
Empower youths and women
Formalize cow value chain
