When we think about hunger,
we often imagine extreme images.

But in many communities,
it looks much quieter than that.

A meal that is stretched
to feed more people than it should.

A parent eating less
so their children can eat.

Food choices based not on nutrition,
but on what is affordable and available.

This is what food insecurity often looks like —
not always obvious,
but deeply impactful.

Because it is not just about whether food exists.

It is about whether that food
is enough,
is consistent,
and provides the nutrients needed
for healthy living.

And when it doesn’t,
the effects show up over time —
especially in children.

This is why nutrition matters.
Not just for survival,
but for development, growth, and long-term wellbeing.

Addressing farmer/herder conflict
requires more than quick fixes.

It requires understanding,
long-term thinking,
and solutions that reflect the realities
of everyone involved.

So we want to ask you:

What do you think is most needed
to reduce these tensions
and build more peaceful coexistence?

Is it better systems for managing land and resources?
Stronger community dialogue?
Support for alternative livelihoods?
Policy-level changes?

Or a combination of these?

There may not be a single answer.
But conversations like this
help us move closer to solutions
that are thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable.

We’d really like to hear your perspective. 👇

Farmer/herder conflict is often discussed
as if it is a simple issue with a single cause.

But in reality,
it is shaped by multiple overlapping factors:

Environmental changes that affect land and water availability.
Economic pressures that make livelihoods more fragile.
Population growth that increases demand on shared resources.
Limited systems for managing disputes effectively.

When these factors intersect,
tension becomes more likely.

And when tension is not addressed early,
it can escalate into cycles that are difficult to break.

This is why responses must go beyond immediate reaction.

They must include:
– systems for dialogue and conflict resolution
– support for sustainable livelihoods
– community-level engagement that builds trust over time

At JAM Foundation, we see peacebuilding
not as a separate issue —
but as part of a broader effort
to create stability, resilience, and shared progress.

Because lasting solutions
must work for everyone involved.

It is easy to tell this story
as two opposing sides.

But the reality is more complex.

A farmer depends on the land
for crops, income, and food.

A herder depends on that same land
for grazing, movement, and livelihood.

When environmental conditions change —
when land becomes less productive,
when water becomes scarce —
both are affected.

And both are forced to adapt
in ways that can bring them into conflict.

At its core,
this is not just about disagreement.
It is about survival under pressure.

And when systems are not in place
to manage that pressure,
tension grows.

Understanding that shared reality
is essential
if we are to move beyond blame
and toward solutions.

Conflict is often described in numbers.

But on the ground,
it looks like something else.

An empty farm.
A grazing route that no longer feels safe.
A family that had to leave overnight.

Land that once sustained people
now divides them.

And the cost
is carried by everyone.

in weather patterns
or farming seasons
where you live?

Climate change is not just about the environment.

It is about livelihoods.

When farming becomes unstable,
income becomes unstable.

When income becomes unstable,
food becomes uncertain.

And when that pressure builds,
it can lead to something else —
conflict.

Everything is connected.

This year, the harvest was different.

Not because the farmer worked less.
Not because the effort wasn’t there.

But because the conditions had changed.

The rains did not come when they should have.
The soil did not yield as expected.

And months of work
led to less than what was needed.

The seasons are no longer predictable.

The rains come late —
or not at all.

The soil no longer responds
the way it used to.

For many farmers,
what once felt certain
now feels uncertain.

And when the land becomes unreliable,
so does everything built on it.

84% COMPLETION RATE.
In a digital skills programme for displaced women. In an IDP community. In North Central Nigeria.
The sector said it couldn't be done.
That displaced women wouldn't engage.
That digital training wouldn't stick.

84% said otherwise.

Evidence changes conversations.
Conversations change funding.
Funding changes lives.
