Cattle herds in Zimbabwean bush encroachment areas are facing challenges due to habitat degradation and climate change. A review of existing literature and expert consultations will inform the development of adaptive management strategies tailored for the specific conditions of bush encroachment areas. The proposed adaptive management strategies provide a robust framework for sustainable cattle husbandry in Zimbabwean bush encroachment areas. Implementing these frameworks requires collaboration between local farmers, government agencies, and research institutions to ensure comprehensive coverage and effective implementation.
