However, availability of optimally diverse diets may be constrained by wealth and/or education (including loss of traditional knowledge of indigenous crops. Human diets have been inadvertently simplified in food systems during the Green-Revolution era where agricultural production focused on provision of sufficient energy. In populations depending on cereal-based diets with low nutrient density, dietary simplification and shortage of access to animal source food exacerbates deficiency of vitamins and minerals, also known as hidden hunger. Moringa oleifera and Moringa. stenopetala are underutilized tropical tree species that can play an important role in dietary diversification and contribute to alleviation of hidden hunger in less developed tropical and subtropical countries .In particular, Moringa can be a rich source of some micronutrients that are commonly deficient in cereal-based diets.","PeriodicalId":35409,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77134531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small holder farmers’ livelihood and the country national income is depending on livestock and crop production. In the livestock sector, free grazing is the major feeding livestock system and communal grazing land is the main feeding source. Poor communal grazing land management leads overgrazing of communal grazing land followed by environmental degradation in particular soil erosion. The government realized the problems but the policy effectiveness on communal grazing land is not reviewed well. This paper aimed to review common grazing land management and the policy and its effectiveness in the northern highland of Ethiopia. The livestock population is increasing dramatically so that it is becoming high threat for common grazing land. Livestock policy was adopted in Ethiopia but the implementation is weak due to low enforcement mechanism for common grazing management. To overcome the common grazing land management problem in the near time, disincentive policies like tax per head, need to encourage private investment, increase livestock productivity and need to adopt optimum allocation livestock stock rate.","PeriodicalId":35409,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84259553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the kebele farmer’s grow different cereals, vegetable and fruit and soil types was mostly dominated by clay red which have medium soil fertility. To undertake this research data was collected by questionnaires and interviews from 61 sample respondents and kebele agriculture experts. The data was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science and presented by like table, percentage and graph. There are so many challenges faced in the kebele based on the questionnaires survey 50% of the respondent are exposed to those serious factors i.e. lack of irrigation awareness, lack of water saving technologies, lack adequate base line about irrigation, lack of experience in design and supervision about irrigation project and poor economic back ground. Finally the research finding was concluded that there were different output/results based on the research objectives according to the challenges of small-scale irrigation 11.5% of the respondent were exposed to different conflict/disagreement due to shortage of sufficient irrigation system and low capacity of water on the area and on the contrary we have generalized that there have been good opportunities according to our finding 98.4% of the respondent are agree as result of irrigation they have an opportunity to produce crops and vegetables by gaining water from their irrigation system. As a result this irrigation technology used as source of income, maximizing of food production, reduction of poverty. The efficient and effective use of the water resource in irrigation region is central to the long term sustainability of irrigated region in the area.

In Ethiopia, watershed management.Program started in 1970. However, it achieved limited success due to its failure in addressing the problems of local people. Women’s knowledge and role in watershedmanagement is largely unrecognized, especially at catchment level.The objective of this studyis to identify the determinants of women participation on watershed management, in Nono Benja district ofJimma Zone. Two stage sampling techniques were used to select sample respondents. In the first stage, from 19 kebele of the district, 6 kebeles were selected by simple random sampling, In the second stage 248 respondents were selected based on probability proportional to the size of population. The necessary data were generated both from primary and secondary sources to answer the research question. Hence, field observation, household survey, key informant interview and focus group discussions were the principal means of generating primary sources of data while secondary data were obtained from reviewing various governmental documents and reports,books and Academic research papers Econometric Model were employed for analyzing data.SPSS version 20 and STATA version 13 software were used for data analysis. The results of the binary logit model indicated that, age, education, training, credit were positively and significantly related to the probability of women participation in watershed management while off farm income was negatively and significantly related to the probability of women participation. Thus, there is need for policies aiming at enhancing women’s participation in watershed management by promoting training, providing extension services,off farm income as well as facilitating access to credit services.
