LAND



In my community land is a great environmental factor that contains all the
mankind activities.



Land simply means a source of livelihood in the farm of agriculture production
and breedily home for our livestock.This leads us in the planning and
protecting our land of plenty by doing the following:




  • Planting trees around the farm edges.

  • Constructing the gabbion to prevent more of gulley erosion.

  • Planting cover crops such as sweet potatoes,pumpkins to protect the soil from
    simple agents of soil erosion



Lacking new modern agricultural produce little amount of rainfall due to the
global warming in the ecosystems also give women challenge on the early
preparations on our land.



In tradition land is believed to be factor for prestige and places where we
build our homestead and promote our culture and heritage.African traditional
heritage honour land because on it grows herbs,trees,grass and stones used for
medicines and cultural practices.At times we used to pray near rivers and
mountains to appease the dead.The land is the pivot around which the entire
life our people rotate.
