However, recent trends have forced the grasscutter industry to reduce the environmental impact of grasscutter production systems.

For grasscutter farming this could partially be accomplished through the development and use of smarter housing designs and management that reduces the impact of harsh weather conditions.Functional grasscutter farm designed and built based onproductivity and sustenance principles guarantee high profit and high rate of returns on investment. Grasscutter production is a lifetime and inheritable income yielding investment in Nigeria.
