The communities rely on crop and livestock husbandry for their livelihoods, with agriculture supporting 26% of the GDP, employing 45% of the population, and accounting for 20-30% of total landcover. However, productivity continues to be low due to human and nonhuman activities, necessitating urgent actions to reverse the trend in the wake a of changing climate.
