Exploring Effective Means of Farmer-Herder Conflicts Prevention: Insights from the Asante Akim North Municipal, Ghana

Farmer-herder conflicts have been a serious human security problem in Asante Akim North Municipal. This paper explores the strategies for farmer-herder conflict prevention. The study found that if herders stop grazing cattle at night, apply technology such as Remote Sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Google Locations to assist in their movement with the cattle, and farmers stop attacking herders and their cattle, the conflicts would be prevented. The study, however, found that poor internet coverage and lack of access to these technologies may hamper their effective application. Despite this, the study recommends the application of technology in herding to prevent farmer-herder conflicts.
