Abstract/Summary:
Ngitili are farmer-led initiatives evolved from traditional strategies for grazing and food security. The system involves retaining an area of standing vegetation (grasses, trees, shrubs and forbs) from the onset to the end of the rainy season. The ngitili area remains closed to livestock at the beginning of the wet season and is opened up for grazing at the peak of dry season.
