Land degradation and intensified livestock and crop production in the Ethiopian highlands
The Ethiopian highlands are ecologically heterogenous and densely populated by humans and animals. Due to the high human population pressure and large herds of livestock on small farm areas, continuous overgrazing of natural grasslands is common. In attempts to meet the increasing food and feed dema...
