If cattle numbers decline and pastures are also limited, what combined effect would Maasai families face?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on income, food, social status and security

For the Maasai, cattle were a major source of food, income, social status and security during difficult times. Fewer cattle reduced milk, meat and income from sales, while limited pasture made it harder to feed the animals that remained. Thus, families faced linked economic, nutritional and social pressures. Option B is incorrect because limited grazing land does not immediately increase farm output or land ownership. Exam tip: In questions on pastoralists, connect loss of animals and grazing land with both economic and social effects.
