| Invasive cattail (Typha spp) weed in channels, rivers, and agricultural lands of Hadejia Valley irrigation schemes in northern Nigeria has become an environmental challenge with important social and economic implications for local communities that depend on agriculture and livestock for a living. As of today, communal efforts and government actions to eradicate this invasive plant are costly and have had little impact. In this context, the goal of this research is to convert this threat into economic opportunities to improve the livelihoods of local communities. Specifically, the project seeks to develop and implement a novel technology that uses Typha as feedstock for the production of biogas based on a model of rumen selected microorganisms. Hence, this is a multifaceted proposal with important environmental and socio-economic impacts occurring both at local and global scales. | |
