Despite mutual benefits, farmers try to deny them access to water and thereby the possibility to graze their stock on crop residues. This new behaviour is changing the geographical distribution of traditional activities and risks endangering herding activity, a leading economic resource in these regions. Meeting livestock watering requirements is thus a matter of local conflict resolution and good governance. Countries should be encouraged to adopt legislation to maintain or even promote the mobility of herding activities. specialized herding use of by-product feeds water productivity Africa Sahel 098 062 34 1 30-46 2009 0250-8060 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046576 10.1080/02508060802677853 0250-8060 [F B010046576] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046576 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2009-06-08/010046576.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-05-13 2018-09-03 fdi:010046576 fre
