Farmers in Falaba Appeal for Urgent Action Over Cattle Destroying Farms

Farmers in Falaba District have appealed to government authorities, traditional leaders, security institutions, and other stakeholders to urgently address the growing problem of roaming cattle destroying farms across the district. According to the farmers, cattle-driven crop destruction threatens livelihoods, food security, and the local economy. They noted that many families rely entirely on farming to provide food, pay school fees, meet healthcare costs, and support their daily needs.The farmers warned that if the issue is not addressed promptly, it could lead to tensions between farmers and cattle owners. They referenced previous clashes in the Serekolia Morifindugu Chiefdom involving farmers and cattle rearers as an example of the consequences of failing to resolve such disputes before they escalate.
