Title:

APP-002319: Bush control and veld managemetn on Farm Uithou 366, Gobabis District, Omaheke Region

Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

Farm Uithou No. 366 is a commercial beef production farm that has its productivity compromised by infestation of invader bush. The veld in most areas of the farm is degraded and is overgrown with undesirable bush encroachment species. Along with various other factors, this poses a serious threat to livestock farming. The farm owner reckons the importance of veld improvement through the introduction of bush control activities on the farm. The overall objective is to implement bush control measures on Farm Uithou to be able to maintain a relatively open area for livestock grazing. Such an approach will enable the farm to become productive, profitable and self-sustaining with no need for external subsidisation. It is expected that some impacts may develop during implementation of bush control activities on the farm which may pose a risk with regards to the environment. The aim of the EMP is to provide guidelines and a framework to direct implementation of the activities on the farm. The identified mitigation measures which, if implemented, could significantly reduce the negative impacts and enhance positive impacts associated with the project.
